Abstract
A 73-year-old Caucasian male, so far engaged in regular, recreational physical activity, was admitted to the hospital due to a progressive decline in efficiency. As a result of the performed diagnostics, a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with failure of the systemic ventricle was diagnosed. Despite the coexisting congenital heart defect, the patient remained physically active for several dozen years and performed high-intensity exertions.
