Brief Summary

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

The six-minute walk test is an established submaximal exercise test. Its role in examination of grown-up patients with congenital heart disease (GUCH) is not studied so far. Objective of this study was a comparison of the 6MWT with other established parameters of functional capacity, in grown-up patients with GUCH.
