Factors Influencing Adaptation and Performance at Physical Exercise in Complex Congenital Heart Diseases after Surgical Repair

Table 1

Pathophysiological classification of congenital heart diseases (CHD).

(1) Simple CHD
(a) CHD characterized by pulmonary hyperflow due to left-to-right shunt (e.g., atrial septal defect and ventricular septal defect)
(b) CHD characterized by left and right ventricular outlet (e.g., aortic valve stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis)
(2) Complex CHD (tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great vessels, congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels, Ebstein’s anomaly, complex CHD corrected according to Fontan procedure)
