Home vs. hospital strength training for adult heart defects
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial compares doing resistance training at home versus at a hospital for adults born with a heart defect. It aims to see which setting helps improve strength and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
