A Study of Hemodynamic Cardiopulmonary Exercise for CHD

March 3, 2026 updated by: Alexander C. Egbe, Mayo Clinic

Invasive Hemodynamic Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing for Assessment of Patients With Congenital Heart Disease (Cath CHD)

The purpose of this study is to compare the difference in the ability to detect hemodynamic abnormalities between invasive hemodynamic assessments performed at rest versus exercise, to assess the correlation between invasive and noninvasive (Doppler-derived) rest-exercise hemodynamic indices and to compare the association between indices of disease severity and hemodynamic abnormalities identified at rest versus exercise.
