Strength training at home or hospital for adult congenital heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study compares doing strengthening exercises (like weight training) at home versus at a hospital for adults with congenital heart disease. It aims to see if both are safe and helpful for improving fitness and daily function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
