Overview

Hypothesis-generating for cardiac rehab in pediatric heart disease; larger trials needed before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does a cardiac rehabilitation program improve hemodynamics and exercise tolerance in pediatric and young adult patients with cardiac disease?

P
Population
16 pediatric and young adult patients with cardiac disease
I
Intervention
Pediatric/Young Adult Cardiac Rehabilitation Program including exercise training, education about cardiovascular diseases, dietary counseling, and counseling on stress management
O
Outcome
Changes in hemodynamics and exercise tolerance (resting blood pressure, peak oxygen consumption, and exercise treadmill time)surrogate

Supervised moderate-intensity exercise training is safe and produces significant beneficial changes in hemodynamics and exercise capacity in children with cardiac disease.
