Home-based cardiac rehabilitation for young people with congenital heart disease
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a home-based exercise program called 'Muscle Your Heart' for young people (ages 8–25) with congenital heart disease. The goal is to help improve your heart fitness and overall health by doing personalized exercises at home, under the guidance of your care team.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can follow instructions and answer questionnaires, and you are able to do physical exercise
- You have health insurance and consent to participate (for minors, a parent or guardian gives consent)
