Remote Cardiac Rehab for Adolescents With Congenital Heart Disease

This study is looking at whether remote cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) can help teenagers with certain congenital heart diseases (heart problems they were born with). You could join if you are 12-19 years old, have a specific congenital heart condition (Univentricular heart with Fontan Palliation, Tetralogy of Fallot with transannular patch, or Dextro-transposition of the great arteries with arterial switch operation), and have your heart doctor's OK to exercise. You'll also need internet access at home. The study compares two groups: one that gets live, supervised exercise sessions at home through video calls, and another that receives handouts about appropriate physical activities. The main goal is to see if the remote rehab improves your peak cardiorespiratory fitness (how well your heart and lungs work during exercise) after 12 weeks. The study is currently recruiting about 74 participants.

Study design
This is a randomized controlled trial, meaning participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups. The study plans to enroll 74 participants.
What's involved
If you are in the remote cardiac rehab group, you will participate in live, remote exercise sessions 3 days a week for 45 minutes over 12 weeks. The first two weeks involve 1-on-1 or small group sessions, followed by 10 weeks of group-based sessions.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
The primary endpoint is measured at 12 weeks, indicating follow-up for at least that duration.

  • Peak Cardiorespiratory FitnessChange from baseline to 12-weeks

    Cardiorespiratory fitness will be assessed using a peak cardiopulmonary exercise stress test (VO2peak) on a cycle ergometer using a ramping cycle protocol.
