A Comparison of Morbidity Between Patients With Pulmonary Atresia With Intact Ventricular Septum and Uni- or Biventricular Circulation

Difference in myocardial infarction, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, malignancy, autoimmune diseases, infections, atopy, certain liver diseases, and protein-losing enteropathy between the two groups

A validated quality of life questionnaire (PROMIS Scale v1.2-Global Health) will be sent to all the research subjects and the answers will be compared between the two groups. The questionnaire consists of a ten-item patient reported measure of physical, mental and social health. Each statement is answered on a scale from 1-5, higher scores mean better outcome.

Ergospirometry, outcome variables: exercise test (exercise capacity measured in watt and over time, counted in minutes), oxygen saturation (measured in percent), blood pressure (measured in millimetre of mercury)

Transthoracic echocardiogram

The following blood tests will be analysed: N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (a marker for heart failure), Alanine aminotransferase (a liver enzyme), Aspartate aminotransferase (a liver enzyme), Creatinine (a waste product from muscle metabolism, used to assess kidney function), Sodium (an electrolyte), Potassium (an electrolyte), Hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen), White blood cell count (Leukocyte count), Platelet count (Thrombocyte count), Albumin: A protein produced by the liver that helps maintain fluid balance in the body, TREC (T-receptor excision circles): A marker used to assess immune function, specifically the production of new T cells, Expanded lymphocyte typing (a comprehensive examination of lymphocyte subtypes)
