Home exercises for children with heart conditions
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing guided exercises at home through a video call (telerehabilitation) can help children with congenital heart disease feel better and improve their fitness. It is designed for children who are stable and can safely do light to moderate physical activity.
