A 42-year-old man with a history of repaired tetralogy of Fallot presents for pulmonary valve replacement due to severe pulmonic regurgitation, right ventricular dilation, and atrial arrhythmias. He reports progressively declining exercise tolerance, fatigue, and reduced activity over the past year, but remains independent in activities of daily living. Which of the following components of the Fried Frailty Phenotype can BEST be used in the preoperative holding area to characterize his physiologic reserve?

A 13-month-old 8 kg child with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) status post Stage 1Norwood followed by bidirectional Glenn at 7 months of age presents for diagnostic cardiac catheterization for hypoxia with oxygen saturation of 60-65%. Superior vena cava (SVC) angiograms demonstrated a diffuse reticular pattern of the pulmonary vasculature, with rapid transit time of contrast into the pulmonary veins, and an absent capillary phase. No decompressing venovenous collaterals were identified on angiography. Indexed pulmonary vascular resistance (PVRi) on FiO2 = 100% and iNO 20ppm was 3.5 WU x m2.

A 4‑month‑old female with a history of Trisomy 21 and a Rastelli type A atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) presents for surgical repair using a two‑patch technique. Pre‑operative TTE demonstrated trivial common AV valve regurgitation, a large inlet VSD with bidirectional shunting, and a moderate primum ASD with left‑to‑right shunting. Intraoperatively, the case is complicated by low cardiac output and hemodynamic instability on weaning from bypass. Which of the following TEE findings is MOST likely to require a return to bypass for surgical revision?
