Brief Summary: The object of this study is to measure the levels of B-type Natriuretic Peptide BNP in patients with congenital heart disease normal individuals and patients with acquired heart failure and compare the results from each group
Detailed Description: Enrollment Patients with congenital heart disease seen at Emory Clinics Adult Congenital Heart Disease program Crawford Long Hospital will be asked to participate in this pilot study Sample size 20 patients 5 in each group Screening Phase Demographic data medical history physical examination including vital signs and room air oxygen saturation and medications will be recorded New York Heart association functional class will be recorded

BNP Levels Approximately 7 cc of blood will be collected The blood will be analyzed for B-type natriuretic peptide on a rapid assay in the clinic

Exercise Tolerance will be measured by a 6 minute walk test on day of visit Echocardiogram A complete echocardiogram including assessment of anatomy ventricular function and valvular function will be performed following the phlebotomy

Quality of life The minnesota living with heart failure questionnaire will be administered on the day of collection of neurohormonal levels A research nurse will be available to assist the patient if needed
