Resumen: Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) show increasing survival. We evaluated the influence of COVID-19 confinement on the mental well-being of patients with CHD. Descriptive, cross-sectional, observational epidemiological study in a cohort of 242 patients with CHD over 14 years old recruited consecutively from a single adolescent and adult CHD outpatient unit. Patients were sent an online questionnaire to determine clinical, demographic and the 12-element general health questionnaire (GHQ-12) data during the COVID-19 quarantine. 242 out of 407 (59%) patients with CHD, to whom the questionnaire was sent, responded to the survey. 98 (42%) patients were between 14 and 24 years old and 133 (58%) were over 25 years old. Of the total, 119 (51%) were male. 123 (51%), 88 (36%) and 31 (13%) patients with CHD had mild, moderate, and severe anatomical complexity respectively. 11 (4.5%) out of 242 patients with CC presented heart failure (HF) symptoms, requiring 18% of them admission to the hospital emergency department during the pandemic (P=0.002). In relation to the GHQ-12 questionnaire, patients with CHD and HF enjoyed less their daily activities (81% vs. 51%, P=0.043) and had less self-confidence (46% vs. 18%, P=0.041) than those without HF symptoms. In conclusion, patients with CHD and HF, during the COVID-19 quarantine, presented a lower capacity to enjoy daily activities and self-confidence than CHD without HF symptoms.
