High-intensity interval training for heart conduit patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether high-intensity interval training (short bursts of intense exercise) can improve heart function and fitness in people who have a surgical tube (conduit) connecting their right ventricle to their pulmonary artery. It aims to find a safe and effective exercise program for those with this type of congenital heart condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a rare heart condition where a surgical tube (conduit) was placed between your right ventricle and pulmonary artery.
- You are between 12 and 45 years old.
- You are not an elite athlete (training 10+ hours per week or on a national team).
- You have not had heart surgery, a catheter procedure, or been hospitalized for a heart event in the last 6 months.
- You do not have a serious heart rhythm problem or an implanted defibrillator.

This study tests a structured “interval” bike exercise program to see if it’s safe and helpful for teens with certain repaired congenital heart conditions. It may help improve fitness while closely monitoring heart symptoms during training.
This study compares two different types of high-intensity interval exercise programs (one shorter, one longer) in people with chronic heart failure. It aims to see which program improves heart health and daily function more.
This trial tests if short, high-intensity arm exercises can help people with stable heart failure. It looks at safety and improvements in daily function.
This study compares two types of interval training (moderate vs. high intensity) to see which is better for improving fitness in women with stable heart failure. It aims to help women feel stronger and manage their condition.
