SF-36 quality-of-life scores exceeded the age-matched general Dutch population in seven of eight domains. Exercise capacity and VO2max were stable compared with prior evaluations. Quality-of-life scores remained stable compared with the evaluation 10 years earlier. The pulmonary stenosis cohort had higher mean exercise capacity than the tetralogy of Fallot cohort studied under identical conditions. VO2max was reduced in 32% of patients, indicating mild impairment in a subset. CPET showed reduced exercise capacity in 14% of patients.
