Task Force 2: Congenital heart disease

Patients with isolated small- to medium-sized aneurysms in one or more coronary arteries and judged to be at low risk for ischemic complications (normal left ventricular function, absence of exercise-induced ischemia or arrhythmia) may participate in low to moderate static and dynamic competitive sports (classes IA, IB, IIA, and IIB).
