Funded Activity Summary

Survival in congenital heart disease patients has improved. Despite long-term sequelae, evidence is scarce. We aim to correlate structural cardiac features on MRI in adults with exercise capacity to determine predictors of poor outcome. Non-compaction cardiomyopathy ("spongy" heart) is a rare, unclassified form of heart failure. The incidence is much higher in patients with congenital heart disease. We aim to examine the causes, mechanical consequences and its effects on cardiac electrical conduction to understand this undefined entity.
