Cardiopulmonary dysfunction in adults with a small, unrepaired ventricular septal defect: A long-term follow-up

There are increasing reports of cardiac and exercise dysfunction in adults with small, unrepaired ventricular septal defects (VSDs). The primary aim of this study was to evaluate pulmonary function in adults with unrepaired VSDs, and secondly to assess the effects of 900  μg salbutamol on lung function and exercise capacity.
