| 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 |
| HR | 9.28 |
| Conclusion | Cardiothoracic ratio derived from postero-anterior chest radiographs is a simple, and reproducible marker, which relates to functional class and predicts independently mortality risk in ACHD patients. |
