As an increasing number of patients with congenital heart disease reach adulthood, more information is needed regarding outcomes. The first signs of impaired heart function may appear during exercise testing. The aim of the present study was to establish mean values for maximal oxygen uptake in adults with various congenital heart diseases. Patients from 6 major diagnostic groups were identified, including patients with atrial septal defect (ASD, n = 93), transposition of the greet arteries corrected with the Mustard procedure (n = 84), congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA, n = 41), Tetralogy of Fallot (n = 168), Ebstein's anomaly (n = 37), and Modified Fontan procedure (n = 52). Diminished maximal oxygen uptake was found in all diagnostic groups across age compared with healthy subjects. A significant decrease in maximal oxygen uptake with aging was found in those with ASD (p
