Ask your team: Every congenital heart defect repair is a unique event and activity limitations 2 decades later would be based on the most current assessment of function. The treatment team that knows you case best is in the position to make such recommendations. If you have not been in for a review in a while this would be a good reason to go.

Cardiac evaluation : A Cardiologist may consider testing your ability to exercise and cardiac function. Monitor your blood pressure and breathing and avoid over exertion.
