title: Interpretation of cardiac pathophysiology by waveform analysis: adult congenital anomalies.
abstract: Congenital anomalies are unusual in adults, but characteristic hemodynamic data facilitate precise diagnoses. A complete evaluation, including assessment for intracardiac shunts, is usually indicated in patients prior to major surgical procedures or electrophysiologic interventions.
