^aThe disease severity for adolescents with CHD was classified as simple, moderate, and complex [49]. Examples of simple severity were ventricular septal defects (VSDs), atrial septal defects (ASDs). Moderate severity mainly included transportation of the great arteries (TGA), tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), and pulmonary valve abnormality. Examples of complex CHD were pulmonary atresia, mitral atresia, and Eisenmenger syndrome
