Exercise program for breathing in adults with Tetralogy of Fallot
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can improve breathing function in adults with Tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition you were born with, after you've had corrective surgery. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with Tetralogy of Fallot (a heart problem present at birth).
- You have had surgery to correct the condition.
- Your heart function is New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or III (mild to moderate symptoms).
- Your ejection fraction (how well the heart pumps) is above 40%.
- You have not had heart or lung surgery in the last 6 months.
- You do not have other lung problems (like asthma), nerve or muscle conditions, or severe scoliosis that affect breathing.
- You have no active infections, mouth injuries, or a pacemaker.

This trial looks at newborns with Tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition present at birth. It aims to study the best way to treat these babies in the first month of life.
This study looks at how the pulmonary arteries (the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the lungs) develop in children who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot, a heart condition present at birth. It aims to learn more about normal growth patterns, which could help doctors better care for other children with similar heart problems.
This study is testing a new computer method to better find the exact spot in the heart that causes abnormal heart rhythms in people who had surgery for tetralogy of Fallot as children. By participating during your already planned heart test, you can help improve treatment options for others with your condition.
This study tests a rehabilitation program to improve breathing and fitness in children aged 6 to 15 who have had heart surgery or a heart transplant. It may help them feel stronger and be more active.
This study tests a breathing exercise program to strengthen the muscles you use to breathe, which may help you feel better and be more active despite heart failure. You must have stable heart failure and not have had recent heart problems or surgery.
This trial tests whether special breathing exercises (called inspiratory muscle training) can improve breathing and daily function in people with heart failure. It may help you feel better and do more in your everyday life.
