Adequacy of Cancer Screening in Adult Women with Congenital Heart Disease
Figure 1
(a) The control group contained 40 women without congenital heart disease who presented with cardiac symptoms such as chest pain or palpitations, cardiovascular risk factors, valvular disease, or arrhythmia. (b) The study group contained 100 women with congenital heart disease whose lesions spanned the spectrum of the Bethesda classification [20] with simple, moderate, and complex lesions all represented. (c) Using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification, most women in the study group had either no limitation in ordinary physical activity (Class I) or mild symptoms (Class II). Fewer subjects had marked limitation in activity due to symptoms (Class III) or symptoms at rest (Class IV).
