Abstract

Exercise testing among the pediatric congenital heart disease population continues to transform and expand the way patients are evaluated and managed. We describe a case where a stress echocardiogram was performed while successfully collecting data from a previously implanted CardioMEMS™ HF system which helped guide decision-making.
