Some examples to important applications of CPET in ACHD are as follows: patients with coarctation of the aorta with borderline clinical findings for reintervention, follow-up of patients with pulmonary hypertension and Eisenmenger syndrome, risk stratification and clinical decision-making in patients with repaired
