Exercise training at home for kids after heart transplant
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based, short bursts exercise program (HIIT using the MedBIKE™ system) for children who had a heart transplant at least 6 months ago. It may help improve fitness and safety after transplant, while checking which kids can participate without heart rhythm or symptom problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 10–18 and had a heart transplant at least 6 months ago
- Able to take part in sessions in English (no major language barrier)
- Home has enough space and setup for the MedBIKE™ bike/sessions
- Not had a recent rejection episode in the last 3 months
- Your heart doctor does not currently restrict exercise, and you do not have recent concerning test results (like unsafe rhythm issues)
- You should not have significant low oxygen needs, low oxygen levels, or moderate-or-worse heart pump weakness
