  1. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), echocardiographic parameters, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide) and exercise stress test (medians) in seven patients after atrial switch operation and four ccTGA (congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries) patients. TR tricuspid regurgitation. SBP systolic blood pressure. RVEF right ventricular ejection fraction. FAC fractional area change. GLS global longitudinal strain. TAPSE tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion. SAX short axis transection strain. AP4 apical 4 chamber strain
