| Popis: | BackgroundGrowing evidence indicates that iron-deficiency anemia is common in patients with congenital heart diseases.The aim of this study was to characterize hematologic changes and iron metabolism in adult Fontan patients. We also searched for the associations between these parameters and physical performance in the study group.Methods and resultsThirty-two white Fontan patients with a mean age of 25±4.5 years and 30 healthy control subjects matched for age and sex were studied. Complete blood count together with iron-related parameters was determined in plasma of peripheral venous blood. The cardiopulmonary exercise test was performed.The Fontan patients had higher red blood cell counts (6.0±2.1×109/μl vs. 4.8±0.4×109/μl, p |
