About this trial

The goal of this observational study is to compare patients with pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (PA-IVS) with univentricular circulation to patients with the same heart defect but that has a biventricular circulation in regards to mortality, quality of life, comorbidity, cardiac function, and work capacity. The main questions the study aims to answer are:

• Do mortality, quality of life, comorbidity, cardiac function, and work capacity differ between patients with PA-IVS who have univentricular and biventricular circulation?

Participants will be asked to answer a Quality of Life questionnaire. The investigators will also inquire with a sample size of the research subjects (based on place of residence) about their participation in a series of examinations (ergo-spirometry to assess work capacity, transthoracic echocardiogram, magnetic resonance of the heart and blood sampling to assess cardiac function and cardiac health).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Regarding the mortality variable, research subjects who have died after the age of 15 years old will be included.
