| Objective | Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is one of the major problems in adults with congestive heart. Little is known about CI in adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) after cardiac surgery.The purpose of our study was to investigate the presence and risk factors of CI in ACHD patients. |
| p Value | <0.0001 |
| Conclusion | Table 2 shows that patients with CI were in higher NYHA class (1.7 6 0.06 versus 1.4 6 0.03, P ! .0001), had significantly elevated N-BNP levels, and impaired VO2AT and VO2peak. The ventilatory equivalents for carbon dioxide at anaerobic threshold and at peak exercise in CI patients were higher. Heart rate at rest and maximal HR during exercise were significantly decreased in patients with CI. |
