| Objective | The wide spectrum of intracardiac anatomy and reparative surgery available for adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) makes uniform measurement of cardiac size and disease severity challenging. The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic potential of cardiothoracic ratio, a simple marker of cardiomegaly, in a large cohort of ACHD. |
| p Value | <0.0001 |
| Conclusion | A significant association was also found between age and CTR (0.90% increase in CTR per 10 years increase in age, 95%CI: 0.76–1.08, P=0.0001). |
