Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a retrospective chart review examining our experience with carvedilol in CHF secondary to left-to-right heart shunt lesions. The treatment group will be children who have received carvedilol. The control or comparison groups will be patients who have received either digoxin/furosemide or captopril for this indication. Charts will be reviewed of patients who have been treated at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and as outpatients by Sibley Heart Center Cardiology between September 2000 and October 2005. Patients will have been started on carvedilol prior to April 1, 2005 and only information up to October 1, 2005 will be used for this study. We will review approximately 50 charts for this study.

We will evaluate the effectiveness of these medications at reducing symptoms of CHF.
