The Relationship Between Having a Positive Mindset and Exercise Capacity in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease
Completed
Conditions studied: Congenital Heart Disease
In brief
A cross sectional study utilizing congenital heart disease patients presenting for clinically indicated cardiopulmonary exercise test. Baseline questionnaires (see below) will be administered prior to the exercise test. Exercise test data and clinical data will be recorded. Questionnaire data will be compared to clinical data in and between disease severity groups. Disease severity will be determined based on hemodynamic (not anatomic) classification according to an algorithm adapted from the European Society of Cardiology.
