Key result
Adult Mustard survivors exhibit subnormal exercise capacity and lower maximum oxygen uptake versus healthy controls.
Why the study?
There have been few reports on resting and exercise hemodynamics in a large population of adults with the Mustard procedure.
Does prior Mustard procedure reduce cardiopulmonary exercise performance in adult survivors compared to a healthy population?
Population
84 adults with the Mustard procedure who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise tests
Comparison
Adults with Mustard procedure vs healthy population controls
Design
Observational cross-sectional study

Does prior Mustard procedure reduce cardiopulmonary exercise performance in adult survivors compared to a healthy population?
Adult survivors of the Mustard procedure have subnormal exercise capacities, potentially driven by chronotropic incompetence, peripheral deconditioning, and impaired lung function.
Hechter et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Adult survivors of the Mustard procedure (n=84). Mustard procedure vs. Healthy population was evaluated on Cardiopulmonary exercise performance and right ventricular ejection fraction. Adult survivors of the Mustard procedure demonstrated subnormal exercise capacities, including lower maximum oxygen uptake and maximal heart rate, compared to a healthy population.
