Implication

May support targeted rehab referral for residual lesions; leaves open efficacy and need for trials in repaired CHD.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Children with congenital heart disease, specifically those with significant residual heart disease (e.g., post-atrial operations for d-transposition of the great arteries, Fontan operation, or tetralogy of Fallot with residual impairment)
I
Intervention
Pediatric cardiac rehabilitation programs (structured, supervised exercise training)

Pediatric cardiac rehabilitation programs are specifically beneficial for children with significant residual congenital heart disease, rather than those with fully repaired lesions who can participate in normal activities.
