Abstract
In this chapter, exercise performance and physiology in the patient with a univentricular heart will be discussed. While almost all of the material will be relevant to children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), very little of the data will be derived from studies whose subjects are limited to children with HLHS. There are two primary reasons for this approach. First, the low number of children with HLHS is such that, except for rare institutions, there are insufficient numbers to allow studies on exercise performance in just these children. Second, these children are only now coming to an age where exercise testing is feasible in sufficient numbers to assess their exercise capabilities, and to compare them with other types of patients with single ventricle physiology.
