They underwent exercise test at the Freeman Hospital from December, 2015 to May, 2016. There were two groups of patients \u2013 46 had symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, syncope, or dyspnoea on exertion and no cardiac diagnosis, and 40 patients had a cardiac diagnosis such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, transposition of the great arteries with post-arterial switch operation, aortic stenosis or regurgitation, tetralogy of Fallot, abnormal coronary arteries, Wolff\u2013Parkinson\u2013White syndrome, or supraventricular tachycardia.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951117000233_abs3\" sec-type=\"results\"><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>In the group of patients with symptoms and no cardiac diagnosis, exercise test was negative and there was no exercise-induced arrhythmia; 31 patients were discharged from follow-up. In the group of patients with a cardiac diagnosis, four patients had to be treated \u2013 one had ablation, one the Ross procedure, one aortic valve repair, and one aortic valve ballooning; in addition, seven patients had to be further investigated \u2013 one had signal average electrocardiogram, one stress cardiac MRI, two cardiac MRI, one lung function test, one reveal device, and one 24 hours electrocardiogram.
