Exercise rehab for Fontan failure
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests if a supervised exercise program (cardiac rehabilitation) can help people who have had a Fontan procedure and are now experiencing heart failure symptoms. It aims to improve your strength, stamina, and overall well-being.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
