About
Primary Objective: To determine if impairments in cardiac and musculoskeletal function and metabolism exist in Fontan children.
Secondary Objectives:
Hypothesis: The investigators hypothesize that abnormalities in cardiac and skeletal function are evident, influence exercise capacity, and can be improved with exercise training.
Full description
This proposed research provides an interdisciplinary approach to understanding exercise intolerance by examining cardiac and musculoskeletal metabolism in a unique cohort of children with congenital heart disease. Study findings may more importantly lead to evidence-based exercise interventions that promote improvements in overall physical health, quality of life, and functional status for Fontan children. Furthermore, this pilot study will lead to the development of a novel research protocol which may be applied to larger Fontan and other congenital heart disease cohorts. This study will also provide preliminary data to develop and conduct a larger clinical research project.
