Abstract
Background The physiologic hallmarks of the Fontan circulation-chronically elevated central venous pressures and low cardiac output-have significant effects not only on cardiovascular status but also impact other organ systems. Exercise capacity is limited in many and declines with age, accelerating in adolescence, but with wide variability. We explore the relationship between exercise performance and end-organ function in outpatient subjects with a Fontan circulation. Methods and Results This is a cross-sectional analysis of subject end-organ characterization from our outpatient Fontan circulation clinic with peak oxygen consumption (peak Vo
