The impact of obesity on early postoperative outcomes in adults with congenital heart disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Traveling to high altitude has become more popular. High-altitude exposure causes hypobaric hypoxia. Exposure to acute high altitude, during air travel or mountain stays, seems to be safe for most patients with congenital heart disorders (CHD). Still, current guidelines for CHD patients express concerns rega...
