Official Title: Acute Effects of 40% Oxygen Supplementation Determined Better Exercise Capacity in Eisenmenger Syndrome

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of oxygen supplementation during a submaximal exercise test in patients with Eisenmenger's Syndrome.

Detailed Summary: Patients with Eisenmenger's syndrome were submitted to a submaximal exercise test (six-minute walking test) with and without supplemental oxygen. The distance walked during the two tests were compared to assess the impact of oxygen supplementation on the walking distance.
Sponsor: Federal University of São Paulo

Current Primary Outcome: Distance walked during the six-minute walk tests [ Time Frame: At enrollment ]

Distance walked during the six-minute walk tests with and without oxygen supplementation were recorded and compared to each other to establish the impact of the intervention.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
