The aim of the study was to investigate serum NT-proBNP levels in adult patients with transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) corrected by atrial switch procedures (Mustard or Senning) operation and to assess the relationship with ventricular impairment and NYHA class. ⋯ Elevated levels of NT-proBNP appear to be a useful tool in assessing heart failure in patients with transposition of the great arteries after atrial switch correction.
