Improved systemic ventricular function after carvedilol administration in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

Abstract
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is associated with shortened survival due, at least in part, to progressive systolic dysfunction of the systemic ventricle. We report a substantial improvement in systemic ventricular function with carvedilol in a 63-year-old man with CCTGA.
