Study Summary
This trial will test whether a structured home exercise program delivered via telemedicine can help people with Fontan heart physiology by reducing frailty and improving exercise capacity.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Fontan heart physiology who can exercise and aren't on IV heart drugs. It's not for those with severe heart issues seen in recent echocardiograms, under 130 cm tall, pregnant or planning pregnancy during the study, or have noncardiac conditions that could affect participation.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests a home exercise program delivered via telemedicine to see if it improves frailty and exercise capacity in people with Fontan physiology. It also examines whether this approach overcomes barriers to access and affects liver disease markers associated with Fontan.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves an exercise program, potential side effects may include typical workout-related discomforts such as muscle soreness or fatigue. However, specific risks related to individuals' pre-existing health conditions will be monitored.
