Exercises for lung health after TOF surgery
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether specific exercises can improve lung function in adults who had surgery for Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), a heart condition. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You were born with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF).
- You had surgery to fix this heart problem.
- You are in Class II or III based on the New York Heart Association (NYHA) scale, meaning you have mild to moderate symptoms like tiredness or shortness of breath during activity.
- Your heart's pumping ability (ejection fraction) is above 40%.
- You are medically stable and can participate in exercise.

This study tests two types of breathing muscle training exercises in people who have had a lung transplant. The goal is to see which type helps you breathe better and improves your daily living.
This trial tests a special type of treadmill exercise that focuses on lengthening muscles while they're under tension (eccentric exercise) to help improve breathing after chest surgery. It may help reduce shortness of breath and speed up recovery.
