However, 10-year transplant-free survival remains at 39\u201350%, with ventricular dysfunction progressing to heart failure (HF) being a common sequela. For SV-CHD patients who develop HF, undergoing the surgical course would not be helpful and could even be detrimental. As HF risk cannot be predicted and metabolic defects have been observed in <jats:italic>Ohia<\/jats:italic> SV-CHD mice, we hypothesized that respiratory defects in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) may allow HF risk stratification in SV-CHD.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> SV-CHD (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 20), biventricular CHD (BV-CHD; <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 16), or healthy control subjects (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 22) were recruited, and PBMC oxygen consumption rate (OCR) was measured using the Seahorse Analyzer. Respiration was similarly measured in <jats:italic>Ohia<\/jats:italic> mouse heart tissue.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Post-Fontan SV-CHD patients with HF showed higher maximal respiratory capacity (p = 0.004) and respiratory reserve (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &amp;lt; 0.0001), parameters important for cell stress adaptation, while the opposite was found for those without HF (reserve <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.037; maximal <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.05). This was observed in comparison to BV-CHD or healthy controls. However, respiration did not differ between SV patients pre- and post-Fontan or between pre- or post-Fontan SV-CHD patients and BV-CHD. Reminiscent of these findings, heart tissue from <jats:italic>Ohia<\/jats:italic> mice with SV-CHD also showed higher OCR, while those without CHD showed lower OCR.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Elevated mitochondrial respiration in PBMCs is correlated with HF in post-Fontan SV-CHD, suggesting that PBMC respiration may have utility for prognosticating HF risk in SV-CHD. Whether elevated respiration may reflect maladaptation to altered hemodynamics in SV-CHD warrants further investigation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fcvm.2021.734388","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,23]],"date-time":"2021-09-23T06:17:05Z","timestamp":1632377825000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Mitochondrial
