Determinants of soluble angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 concentrations in adult patients with complex congenital heart disease

ConclusionSoluble ACE2 concentrations were significantly increased in all types of complex CHD with highest levels found in patients with NYHA class  ≥ III. Moreover, a higher NYHA class ≥ III was the most significant determinant that was independently associated with elevated sACE2 concentrations.Graphic abstract
