Long-Term outcomes in adult patients with congenital heart disease considered for transplantation: A single center study.

Background: Adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients pose unique challenges in identifying the time for transplantation and factors influencing outcomes.

Objective: To identify hemodynamic, functional, and laboratory parameters that correlate with 1- and 10-year outcomes in ACHD patients considered for transplantation.

Methods: A retrospective chart review of long-term outcomes in adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) evaluated for heart or heart + additional organ transplant between 2004 and 2014 at our center was performed.

Effect of expertise on pacing strategies and sprint performance in batsmen.

Objectives: To assess whether the absence of a known endpoint, at the beginning of repeated-sprint bouts between the wickets, affects how skilled compared to less skilled batsmen pace themselves.

Design: Repeated measures.

Methods: Twelve skilled and 12 less skilled batsmen completed three trials.
