Description
Summary:	Problems related to the assessment of systemic oxygen transport and central hemodynamic parameters at exercise tests after surgical correction of congenital and acquired heart diseases are discussed. Several types of adaptation to stress have been identified. Noninvasive direct measurement of cardiac output under stress is shown to be useful as cardiac output values may be different where oxygen consumption levels are similar. It is suggested that the results may be used for functional assessment of surgical outcomes and the choice of treatment and rehabilitation strategy.
