Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep disorders have a significant negative impact on mental and physical health, especially among the elderly. Various factors can affect the sleep quality of elderly people. The aim of this research to investigate the effect of urban and rural environments on the sleep quality of elderly people with emphasis on physical activity. METHOD Four hundred and thirty-nine elderly people (226 city residents and 213 village residents) in urban and rural areas of Bushehr (Southern Iran), volunteered to participate in the present study. Information was collected via the General information questionnaire and Petersburg Sleep Questionnaire. RESULT The results showed that active elderly women (p < 0.001), and total active elderly (male + female) (p < 0.001) living in urban areas compared to inactive elderly and also in rural areas active elderly women (p < 0.001), active elderly men (p < 0.001) and total active elderly (male + female) (p < 0.001) had better overall sleep quality in compared to inactive elderly. Also, elderly men (p < 0.001) and the total elderly (male + female) (p < 0.001) living in urban areas had better sleep quality than the elderly in rural areas. CONCLUSION Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the way of life (being active) as well as the living environment can affect the sleep quality of elderly people, so that active elderly people and also elderly people living in urban environments had better sleep quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to explore changes in health-related quality of life in children with congenital heart disease from pre-surgery to 6 months after surgery. METHODS A total of 87 children aged 2-12 years who underwent cardiac surgery in a provincial hospital in China from January 2021 to June 2021 were selected. After 6 months, the quality of life of all children was retrospectively analyzed. The Chinese version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Scale was used to assess the quality of life of children before and after surgery. RESULTS Parents of 85 children and 33 children aged 5-12 years completed the questionnaires. After surgical treatment, the quality of life scores reported by parents of children of all ages were significantly higher than those before surgery, the P value < 0.05; the self-evaluated quality of life scores of children of different ages were significantly higher than those before surgery, the P value < 0.05. CONCLUSION Surgical treatment can improve the health-related quality of life of children with congenital heart disease.

Abstract
People living with CHD do less moderate-to-vigorous activity than their peers. This study sought to examine the impact of a community-based physical activity intervention for individuals with CHD. Individuals with CHD and family members participated in a 3 h, one-day Fearless event consisting of a variety of physical activity and education sessions. Consenting participants completed self-administered questionnaires pre-/post-event and completed a post-event feedback form. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were calculated across subgroups for each outcome/questionnaire. Written feedback was analyzed using a six-phase framework of reflexive thematic analysis. A total of 32 participants (six children, six adolescents, five youth, five all ages, and ten adults) with CHD completed this study. Following Fearless, youth with CHD reported spending less time being 'inactive' and more time being 'somewhat active'. Adults with CHD reported spending more time walking and partaking in moderate activity and less time partaking in vigorous activity. Fearless successfully engaged individuals with CHD who were more sedentary, less active, and older. Fearless is a fun, family-friendly, physical activity intervention for individuals with CHD. Attending a Fearless event helped children, adolescents, and adults with CHD make incremental improvements to their physical activity levels and provided a framework for sport and recreation leaders who aim to promote physical activity amongst individuals with CHD.

Abstract
Exercise and physical activity (PA) have been shown to be effective, safe and feasible in both healthy children and children with congenital heart disease (CHD). However, implementing exercise training as an intervention is still not routine in children with CHD despite considerable evidence of health benefits and well-being. Understanding how children with CHD can safely participate in exercise can boost participation in PA and subsequently reduce inactivity-related diseases. Home-based exercise intervention, with the use of personal wearable activity trackers, and high-intensity interval training have been beneficial in adults' cardiac rehabilitation programmes. However, these remain underutilised in paediatric care. Therefore, the aims of this narrative review were to synthesise prescribed exercise interventions in children with CHD, identify possible limitation to exercise training prescription and provide an overview on how to best integrate exercise intervention effectively for this population into daily practice.

Abstract
BackgroundPatients with congenital heart disease (CHD)—including those after Fontan operation—are encouraged to be physically active.AimTo prospectively determine the effects of an individually adapted, home-based cycle ergometer endurance training in combination with inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in pediatric and adult Fontan patients. We, herein, report the results of the initial 10-months follow-up (phase 1).Methods18 patients (median age 16.5 years; range 10-43 years) completed baseline check-ups, and 4 and 10 months follow-up visits, which each included cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), bodyplethysmography (including measurement of respiratory muscle strength), and a quality of life questionnaire (PedsQL™). The training program consisted of a home-based cycle ergometer endurance training on a “Magbike® AM-5i/3i” (DKN Technology®, Clermont-Ferrand, France) and IMT with a handheld “POWERbreathe® Medic plus” device. Patients performed 90 min of endurance training per week in addition to IMT (30 breaths per day, 6-7 times per week). After the first 4 months, patients underwent additional interval training.ResultsAfter 10 months of training, we observed significant increases in maximum relative workload (W/kg, p = 0.003) and in maximum inspiratory (MIP, p = 0.002) and expiratory (MEP, p = 0.008) pressures. Peak VO2 values did not increase significantly as compared to baseline (p = 0.12) in the entire cohort (n = 18), but reached statistical significance in a subgroup analysis of teenage/adult patients (n = 14; p = 0.03). Patients' subjective quality of life did not show any significant changes after 10 months of training.DiscussionIn Fontan patients, an individually adapted home-based training is safe and associated with improvements in some CPET variables. However, these improvements did not translate into an improved QoL after 10 months. With an unclear, but most likely negative, impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, improvements in QoL may become evident during further follow-up (phase 2 of the study).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Regular physical activity is safe and effective therapy for adults with CHD and is recommended by European Society of Cardiology guidelines. The COVID-19 pandemic poses enormous challenges to healthcare teams and patients when ensuring guideline compliance. We explored the implications of COVID-19 on physical activity levels in adult CHD patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A data-based questionnaire was distributed to adult CHD patients at a regional tertiary centre from October to November 2020. RESULTS Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, 96 (79.3%) of 125 respondents reported participating in regular physical activity, with 66 (52.8%) meeting target levels (moderate physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week). Commonest motivations for physical activity were general fitness (53.6%), weight loss (36.0%), and mental health benefits (30.4%). During the pandemic, the proportion that met target levels significantly decreased from 52.8% to 40.8% (p = 0.03). The commonest reason was fear of COVID-19 (28.0%), followed by loss of motivation (23.2%) and gym/fitness centre closure (15.2%). DISCUSSION The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted exercise levels of adult CHD patients. Most do not meet recommended physical activity levels, mainly attributable to fear of COVID-19. Even before the pandemic, only half of respondents met physical activity guidelines. Availability of online classes can positively impact exercise levels so could enhance guideline compliance. This insight into health perceptions and behaviours of adult CHD patients may help develop quality improvement initiatives to improve physical activity levels in this population.

Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: Multiparametric Overview and Correlation with Cardiac Magnetic Resonance and Physical Activity Level. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2022; 9:jcdd9010026.

Abstract
Patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) typically report having preserved subjective exercise tolerance. Chronic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) with varying degrees of right ventricular (RV) dilation as assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is prevalent in rToF and may contribute to clinical compromise. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides an objective assessment of functional capacity, and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) can provide additional data on physical activity (PA) achieved. Our aim was to assess the association between CPET values, IPAQ measures, and MRI parameters. All rToF patients who had both an MRI and CPET performed within one year between March 2019 and June 2021 were selected. Clinical data were extracted from electronic records (including demographic, surgical history, New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, QRS duration, arrhythmia, MRI parameters, and CPET data). PA level, based on the IPAQ, was assessed at the time of CPET. Eighty-four patients (22.8 ± 8.4 years) showed a reduction in exercise capacity (median peak VO2 30 mL/kg/min (range 25–33); median percent predicted peak VO2 68% (range 61–78)). Peak VO2, correlated with biventricular stroke volumes (RVSV: β = 6.11 (95%CI, 2.38 to 9.85), p = 0.002; LVSV: β = 15.69 (95% CI 10.16 to 21.21), p < 0.0001) and LVEDVi (β = 8.74 (95%CI, 0.66 to 16.83), p = 0.04) on multivariate analysis adjusted for age, gender, and PA level. Other parameters which correlated with stroke volumes included oxygen uptake efficiency slope (OUES) (RVSV: β = 6.88 (95%CI, 1.93 to 11.84), p = 0.008; LVSV: β = 17.86 (95% CI 10.31 to 25.42), p < 0.0001) and peak O2 pulse (RVSV: β = 0.03 (95%CI, 0.01 to 0.05), p = 0.007; LVSV: β = 0.08 (95% CI 0.05 to 0.11), p < 0.0001). On multivariate analysis adjusted for age and gender, PA level correlated significantly with peak VO2/kg (β = 0.02, 95% CI 0.003 to 0.04; p = 0.019). We observed a reduction in objective exercise tolerance in rToF patients. Biventricular stroke volumes and LVEDVi were associated with peak VO2 irrespective of RV size. OUES and peak O2 pulse were also associated with biventricular stroke volumes. While PA level was associated with peak VO2, the incremental value of this parameter should be the focus of future studies.

Abstract
Background: Scientific guidelines have been developed to update and harmonize exercise based cardiac rehabilitation (ebCR) in German speaking countries. Key recommendations for ebCR indications have recently been published in part 1 of this journal. The present part 2 updates the evidence with respect to contents and delivery of ebCR in clinical practice, focusing on exercise training (ET), psychological interventions (PI), patient education (PE). In addition, special patients’ groups and new developments, such as telemedical (Tele) or home-based ebCR, are discussed as well. Methods: Generation of evidence and search of literature have been described in part 1. Results: Well documented evidence confirms the prognostic significance of ET in patients with coronary artery disease. Positive clinical effects of ET are described in patients with congestive heart failure, heart valve surgery or intervention, adults with congenital heart disease, and peripheral arterial disease. Specific recommendations for risk stratification and adequate exercise prescription for continuous-, interval-, and strength training are given in detail. PI when added to ebCR did not show significant positive effects in general. There was a positive trend towards reduction in depressive symptoms for “distress management” and “lifestyle changes”. PE is able to increase patients’ knowledge and motivation, as well as behavior changes, regarding physical activity, dietary habits, and smoking cessation. The evidence for distinct ebCR programs in special patients’ groups is less clear. Studies on Tele-CR predominantly included low-risk patients. Hence, it is questionable, whether clinical results derived from studies in conventional ebCR may be transferred to Tele-CR. Conclusions: ET is the cornerstone of ebCR. Additional PI should be included, adjusted to the needs of the individual patient. PE is able to promote patients self-management, empowerment, and motivation. Diversity-sensitive structures should be established to interact with the needs of special patient groups and gender issues. Tele-CR should be further investigated as a valuable tool to implement ebCR more widely and effectively.

Abstract
In the pediatric population, exercise capacity differs between females and males and the gap widens through adolescence. However, specific age- and sex-based changes in adolescents with congenital heart disease and Fontan palliation have not been reported. The purpose of the current study is to identify age- and sex-specific changes in exercise performance at peak and ventilatory anaerobic threshold (AT) for adolescents with Fontan physiology. Retrospective review of the Pediatric Heart Network Fontan cross sectional study (Fontan 1) public use dataset. Comparisons were made for peak and AT exercise parameters for females and males at 2-year age intervals. In addition, normative values were generated by sex and age at 2-year intervals. χ2 test was used for comparison for categorical variables. Changes in exercise parameters between age groups by sex were compared by ANOVA with post-hoc analysis. Exercise testing was performed in 411 patients. AT was reached in 317 subjects (40% female), of whom, 166 (43% female) reached peak exercise. Peak oxygen consumption decreased 32% through adolescence in females and did not have the typical increase through adolescence for males. Oxygen consumption at AT also decreased with age in both sexes. In conclusion, age- and sex-based exercise performance for adolescents with Fontan physiology are predictably low, but there are additional significant decreases through adolescence for this population, especially in females. We have established normative exercise values for several parameters for this population which will better identify at risk patients and allow for earlier intervention.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of exercise training and its mechanisms on the functional capacity improvement in Fontan patients (FP) are virtually unknown. This trial evaluated four-month aerobic exercise training and inspiratory muscle training on functional capacity, pulmonary function, and autonomic control in patients after Fontan operation. METHODS A randomized controlled clinical trial with 42 FP aged 12 to 30 years and, at least, five years of Fontan completion. Twenty-seven were referred to a four-months supervised and personalized aerobic exercise training (AET) or an inspiratory muscle training (IMT). A group of non-exercise (NET) was used as control. The effects of the exercise training in peak VO2; pulmonary volumes and capacities, maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP); muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA); forearm blood flow (FBF); handgrip strength and cross-sectional area of the thigh were analyzed. RESULTS The AET decreased MSNA (p = 0.042), increased FBF (p = 0.012) and handgrip strength (p = 0.017). No significant changes in autonomic control were found in IMT and NET groups. Both AET and IMT increased peak VO2, but the increase was higher in the AET group compared to IMT (23% vs. 9%). No difference was found in the NET group. IMT group showed a 58% increase in MIP (p = 0.008) in forced vital capacity (p = 0.011) and forced expiratory volume in the first second (p = 0.011). No difference in pulmonary function was found in the AET group. CONCLUSIONS Both aerobic exercise and inspiratory muscle training improved functional capacity. The AET group developed autonomic control, and handgrip strength, and the IMT increased inspiratory muscle strength and spirometry. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02283255.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The shift toward a preventative approach in medical aftercare of congenital heart disease (CHD) patients has led to encouragement of regular physical activity (PA) in this patient population. Objective measures are crucial in accurately displaying PA levels and have increasingly found their way into clinical research. This review aims to give an overview about quality, methodology, and outcomes of current scientific work on accelerometers objectively assessing PA in patients with CHD. METHODS Systematically researched literature in all relevant databases (PubMed, Cochrane, and Scopus) over the past decade (2009-2019) with history of CHD and accelerometer-based PA assessment was evaluated by 2 independent reviewers according to the Study Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute. RESULTS Eight articles with 664 pediatric patients with CHD aged 3-18 years (range 10-162 patients), 5 studies with 574 adults with CHD aged 18-63 years (range 28-330 patients), and 3 studies with 177 pediatric patients and adults with CHD aged 8-52 years were included. Two studies were rated "good"; 9, "fair"; and 5, "poor." Methodologies and devices differed substantially across all studies. CONCLUSIONS Overall study quality was fair at best, and due to difficult methodological comparability of the studies, no clear answer on how active patients with CHD really are can currently be given. Larger studies carefully considering collection and processing criteria, and correct reporting standards exploring PA in patients with CHD from different angles are needed.

Abstract
Background: Despite developments in surgical techniques and medical care, people with a Fontan circulation still experience long-term complications; non-invasive therapies to optimize the circulation have not been established. Exercise intolerance affects the majority of the population and is associated with worse prognosis. Historically, people living with a Fontan circulation were advised to avoid physical activity, but a small number of heterogenous, predominantly uncontrolled studies have shown that exercise training is safe-and for unique reasons, may even be of heightened importance in the setting of Fontan physiology. The mechanisms underlying improvements in aerobic exercise capacity and the effects of exercise training on circulatory and end-organ function remain incompletely understood. Furthermore, the optimal methods of exercise prescription are poorly characterized. This highlights the need for large, well-designed, multi-center, randomized, controlled trials. Aims and Methods: The Fontan Fitness Intervention Trial (F-FIT)-a phase III clinical trial-aims to optimize exercise prescription and delivery in people with a Fontan circulation. In this multi-center, randomized, controlled study, eligible Fontan participants will be randomized to either a 4-month supervised aerobic and resistance exercise training program of moderate-to-vigorous intensity followed by an 8-month maintenance phase; or usual care (control group). Adolescent and adult (≥16 years) Fontan participants will be randomized to either traditional face-to-face exercise training, telehealth exercise training, or usual care in a three-arm trial with an allocation of 2:2:1 (traditional:telehealth:control). Children (<16 years) will be randomized to either a physical activity and exercise program of moderate-to-vigorous intensity or usual care in a two-arm trial with a 1:1 allocation. The primary outcome is a change in aerobic exercise capacity (peak oxygen uptake) at 4-months. Secondary outcomes include safety, and changes in cardiopulmonary exercise testing measures, peripheral venous pressure, respiratory muscle and lung function, body composition, liver stiffness, neuropsychological and neurocognitive function, physical activity levels, dietary and nutritional status, vascular function, neurohormonal activation, metabolites, cardiac function, quality of life, musculoskeletal fitness, and health care utilization. Outcome measures will be assessed at baseline, 4-months, and 12-months. This manuscript will describe the pathophysiology of exercise intolerance in the Fontan circulation and the rationale and protocol for the F-FIT.

Abstract
In the current era, the majority of children born with congenital heart disease (CHD) will survive well into adulthood because of major advances in surgical techniques, as well as in critical and medical care. However, reoperation and palliative surgical interventions are increasingly common in the adults with CHD. Tools to risk stratify patients effectively and therapies to improve outcomes are required to optimize the management of adult patients with CHD during the preoperative and postoperative periods and beyond. Exercise testing is an invaluable tool to guide risk stratification. In addition, exercise training in patients with CHD may decrease postoperative complications by enhancing physiological reserve and also has an important role in physical rehabilitation. This review aims to provide individualized recommendations on exercise prescription in patients with CHD in the preoperative and postoperative settings. The response to exercise testing and prognostic implications is also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Congenital heart disease (ConHD) affects approximately 1% of all live births. People with ConHD are living longer due to improved medical intervention and are at risk of developing non-communicable diseases. Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is reduced in people with ConHD, who deteriorate faster compared to healthy people. CRF is known to be prognostic of future mortality and morbidity: it is therefore important to assess the evidence base on physical activity interventions in this population to inform decision making. OBJECTIVES To assess the effectiveness and safety of all types of physical activity interventions versus standard care in individuals with congenital heart disease. SEARCH METHODS We undertook a systematic search on 23 September 2019 of the following databases: CENTRAL, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, AMED, BIOSIS Citation Index, Web of Science Core Collection, LILACS and DARE. We also searched ClinicalTrials.gov and we reviewed the reference lists of relevant systematic reviews. SELECTION CRITERIA We included randomised controlled trials (RCT) that compared any type of physical activity intervention against a 'no physical activity' (usual care) control. We included all individuals with a diagnosis of congenital heart disease, regardless of age or previous medical interventions. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two review authors (CAW and CW) independently screened all the identified references for inclusion. We retrieved and read all full papers; and we contacted study authors if we needed any further information. The same two independent reviewers who extracted the data then processed the included papers, assessed their risk of bias using RoB 2 and assessed the certainty of the evidence using the GRADE approach. The primary outcomes were: maximal cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) assessed by peak oxygen consumption; health-related quality of life (HRQoL) determined by a validated questionnaire; and device-worn 'objective' measures of physical activity. MAIN RESULTS We included 15 RCTs with 924 participants in the review. The median intervention length/follow-up length was 12 weeks (12 to 26 interquartile range (IQR)). There were five RCTs of children and adolescents (n = 500) and 10 adult RCTs (n = 424). We identified three types of intervention: physical activity promotion; exercise training; and inspiratory muscle training. We assessed the risk of bias of results for CRF as either being of some concern (n = 12) or at a high risk of bias (n = 2), due to a failure to blind intervention staff. One study did not report this outcome. Using the GRADE method, we assessed the certainty of evidence as moderate to very low across measured outcomes. When we pooled all types of interventions (physical activity promotion, exercise training and inspiratory muscle training), compared to a 'no exercise' control CRF may slightly increase, with a mean difference (MD) of 1.89 mL/kg-1/min-1 (95% CI -0.22 to 3.99; n = 732; moderate-certainty evidence). The evidence is very uncertain about the effect of physical activity and exercise interventions on HRQoL. There was a standardised mean difference (SMD) of 0.76 (95% CI -0.13 to 1.65; n = 163; very low certainty evidence) in HRQoL. However, we could pool only three studies in a meta-analysis, due to different ways of reporting. Only one study out of eight showed a positive effect on HRQoL. There may be a small improvement in mean daily physical activity (PA) (SMD 0.38, 95% CI -0.15 to 0.92; n = 328; low-certainty evidence), which equates to approximately an additional 10 minutes of physical activity daily (95% CI -2.50 to 22.20). Physical activity and exercise interventions likely result in an increase in submaximal cardiorespiratory fitness (MD 2.05, 95% CI 0.05 to 4.05; n = 179; moderate-certainty evidence). Physical activity and exercise interventions likely increase muscular strength (MD 17.13, 95% CI 3.45 to 30.81; n = 18; moderate-certainty evidence). Eleven studies (n = 501) reported on the outcome of adverse events (73% of total studies). Of the 11 studies, six studies reported zero adverse events. Five studies reported a total of 11 adverse events; 36% of adverse events were cardiac related (n = 4); there were, however, no serious adverse events related to the interventions or reported fatalities (moderate-certainty evidence). No studies reported hospital admissions. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS This review summarises the latest evidence on CRF, HRQoL and PA. Although there were only small improvements in CRF and PA, and small to no improvements in HRQoL, there were no reported serious adverse events related to the interventions. Although these data are promising, there is currently insufficient evidence to definitively determine the impact of physical activity interventions in ConHD. Further high-quality randomised controlled trials are therefore needed, utilising a longer duration of follow-up.

Skeletal muscle index determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis is a determinant of exercise capacity and a prognostic predictor in patients with congenital heart disease. J Cardiol 2020; 76:413-419. [PMID: 32439338 DOI: 10.1016/j.jjcc.2020.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/28/2019] [Revised: 04/16/2020] [Accepted: 04/18/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) reportedly have reduced exercise capacity. Underlying cardiac anatomy and a sedentary lifestyle are thought to be associated with exercise impairment. However, little has been reported regarding the relationship between quantitative body composition and exercise capacity. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a rapid and safe assessment method that has been widely used in clinical research. We hypothesized that bioelectrical impedance parameters are determinants of exercise capacity, and the skeletal muscle index (SMI) determined by BIA is a prognostic predictor in patients with CHD. METHODS We conducted a retrospective single-center study of 305 consecutive patients with CHD [median age, 26 years (range 12-60]; 48% males] admitted between 2014 and 2017. The BIA parameters were reviewed, including the edema index (EI, extracellular water to total body water ratio), SMI (skeletal muscle mass/height2), mineral index (MI, mineral mass/height2), percent body fat (%BF), and exercise capacity [peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2)] via a cardiopulmonary exercise test. RESULTS The multivariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between peakVO2 and EI (r=0.55) and peakVO2 and SMI (r=0.49). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the EI cut-off for peakVO2<20ml/kg/min was 0.386 [area under the curve (AUC), 0.77; sensitivity, 0.67; specificity 0.76], and the SMI cut-off was 7.6kg/m2 (AUC, 0.78; sensitivity, 0.76; specificity 0.75). Compared with patients who had biventricular morphology, patients with single ventricular morphology had a higher EI (mean, 0.381 vs. 0.387, respectively) and lower SMI (8.5 vs. 7.7, respectively), resulting in a lower peakVO2 (27.1 vs. 20.8, respectively). The Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that a low SMI was associated with an increased risk of future heart failure-related admissions. CONCLUSIONS SMI determined by BIA is a determinant of exercise capacity and can be used as a prognostic predictor in patients with CHD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess exercise capacity, physical activity, and health-related quality of life within a broad and unselected group of adults with CHD. DESIGN From April 2009 to February 2014, 1310 patients were assessed for suitability to participate in this single-centre cross-sectional study. Seven hundred and forty-seven (57%) patients were included, performed a submaximal bicycle test, and answered questionnaires regarding physical activity and health-related quality of life. Exercise capacity, physical activity, and health-related quality of life were compared with reference values and correlations were studied. RESULTS The exercise capacities of men and women with CHD were 58.7 and 66.3%, respectively, of reference values. Approximately, 20-25% of the patients did not achieve the recommended amount of physical activity. In addition, men scored significantly less points on 7 out of 10 scales of health-related quality of life and women in 6 out of 10 scales, compared with reference values. The strongest correlation was between exercise capacity and the Short Form-36 (physical function). CONCLUSIONS Exercise capacity was impaired in all adults with CHD, including those with less complicated CHD. One-quarter of the patients did not achieve the recommended levels of physical activity. Exercise tests followed by individualised exercise prescriptions may be offered to all patients with CHD aiming to increase exercise capacity, levels of physical activity, improve health-related quality of life, and reduce the risk of acquired life-style diseases.

Abstract
Approximately 50 million adults worldwide have known congenital heart disease (CHD). Among the most common types of CHD defects in adults are atrial septal defects and ventricular septal defects followed by complex congenital heart lesions such as tetralogy of Fallot. Adults with CHDs are more likely to have hypertension, cerebral vascular disease, diabetes and chronic kidney disease than age-matched controls without CHD. Moreover, by the age of 50, adults with CHD are at a greater than 10% risk of experiencing cardiac dysrhythmias and approximately 4% experience sudden death. Consequently, adults with CHD require healthcare that is two- to four-times greater than adults without CHD. This paper discusses the diagnosis and treatment of adults with atrial septal defects, ventricular septal defects and tetralogy of Fallot.

Abstract
Home-based exercise training is a promising alternative to conventional supervised training for patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). Even though the beneficial effect of exercise interventions is well established in patients with CHD, knowledge concerning variety and utility of existing programmes is still lacking. Therefore, the aim of this review is to give an overview about existing home-based exercise interventions in patients with CHD. A systematic search was performed in PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus and PEDro (2008–2018) for relevant clinical trials that provided any kind of home-based exercise with patients with CHD. All articles were identified and assessed by two independent reviewers. Seven articles with 346 paediatric CHD (18 months to 16 years) and five articles with 200 adults with CHD (21–41 years) were included. Most studies performed a supervised home-based exercise intervention with children and adolescents exercising at least three times per week with duration of 45 min for 12 weeks. Reported outcome measurements were health-related quality of life and physical activity, but mostly exercise capacity measured as peak oxygen uptake that improved in four studies (1.2%, 7%, 7.7%, 15%; p<0.05), walking distance in two (3.5%, 19.5%, p<0.05,) or walking time (2 min, p=0.003) in one. The dropout rates were high (15%), and compliance to the training programme was not reported in the majority of the studies (58%). Home-based exercise interventions are safe, feasible and a useful alternative to supervised cardiac rehabilitation for all age groups of patients with CHD. Nevertheless, training compliance represents a major challenge.

Abstract
Despite the known benefits of regular exercise, the majority of adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) fail to meet recommended standards for physical activity. We aimed to evaluate the factors associated with exercise frequency in adults with CHD, which remain largely unknown. From September 2015 to December 2016, 446 adults with CHD completed clinical questionnaires regarding exercise frequency. Questionnaires also measured related demographic and psychosocial variables. Retrospective chart review was utilized to determine cardiac function and cardiopulmonary exercise capacity. Exercise frequency was classified as none (33%), low (<3×/month, 2%), occasional (<2×/week, 8%), or frequent (≥2×/week, 57%). Frequent exercisers were more highly educated (odds ratio [OR] 1.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.06 to 2.57), reported improved sleep quality, with decreased nocturnal awakenings and sleep latency (OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.32 to 0.83), and had a lower prevalence of depression (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.12 to 0.75). There was no significant association between exercise frequency and disease complexity or cardiac function. Of the original cohort, 74 patients completed exercise testing within 1 year of their visit. Frequent exercisers (n = 46) had better indicators of cardiovascular capacity, including higher peak maximal oxygen consumption [VO2] (28.8 ± 8.5 vs 24.6 ± 8.4, p = 0.04). After controlling for exercise frequency, higher educational attainment independently predicted an improved exercise capacity (peak [VO2]: OR = 1.09, 95% CI 1.01 to 1.18). In conclusion, frequent exercise in adults with CHD is associated with improved cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and psychosocial functioning, irrespective of underlying cardiac disease complexity and severity. Increased physical activity levels and improved exercise capacity were observed in more highly educated patients, highlighting the potential importance of socioeconomic influences on physical and mental functioning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As survival improves in the congenital heart disease (CHD) population, health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes become increasingly important. While surgery improves survival, poor HRQOL occurs postoperatively and cardiac-related HRQOL outcomes are rarely reported. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review and meta-analyses of general and cardiac-related HRQOL in CHD surgical children and young adults. METHOD Medline, CINAHL and EMBASE were searched. Quantitative designs with a minimum of 80% CHD surgical patients and mean age ≤18 years compared with healthy controls were included in the review. Data were analysed in RevMan V.5.3 using a random effects model. OUTCOME MEASURES General and cardiac-related HRQOL. RESULTS Studies (n=20) were conducted in high-income countries and included 3808 patients plus 2951 parental reports of patients. HRQOL was worse in postoperative patients with CHD versus healthy controls in all domains with the largest difference seen for physical function (standard mean difference (SMD) of -0.56, 95% CI -0.82 to -0.30). Cardiac-related HRQOL was worse in complex compared with simple CHD with the largest SMD (-0.60, 95% CI -0.80 to -0.40) for symptoms. Heterogeneity ranged from 0% to 90%. CONCLUSIONS CHD surgical patients have substantially worse HRQOL compared with age-matched healthy controls. Strategies should focus on improving HRQOL in this subgroup. Results may not be applicable to low/middle-income countries given the dearth of relevant research.

Abstract
Fontan palliation allows patients with "single ventricle" circulation to reach adulthood with an acceptable quality of life, although exercise tolerance is significantly reduced. To assess whether controlled respiratory training (CRT) increases cardiorespiratory performance. 16 Adolescent Fontan patients (age 17. 5 ± 3.8 years) were enrolled. Patients were divided into CRT group (n = 10) and control group (C group, n = 6). Maximal cardiopulmonary test (CPT) was repeated at the end of CRT in the CRT group and after an average time of 3 months in the C group. In the CRT group a CPT endurance was also performed before and after CRT. In the CRT group there was a significant improvement in cardiovascular and respiratory response to exercise after CRT. Actually, after accounting for baseline values, the CRT group had decreased breathing respiratory reserve (- 15, 95% CI -22.3 to - 8.0, p = 0.001) and increased RR peak (+ 4.8, 95% CI 0.7-8.9, p = 0.03), VE peak (+ 13.7, 95% CI 5.6-21.7, p = 0.004), VO2 of predicted (+ 8.5, 95% CI 0.1-17.0, p = 0.05), VO2 peak (+ 4.3, 95% CI 0.3 to 8.2, p = 0.04), and VO2 workslope (+ 1.7, 95% CI 0.3-3.1, p = 0.02) as compared to the control group. Moreover, exercise endurance time increased from 8.45 to 17.7 min (p = 0.01). CRT improves cardiorespiratory performance in post-Fontan patients leading to a better aerobic capacity.

Abstract
Background: Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) improves exercise capacity and quality of life while reducing mortality in adults with acquired heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation has not been extensively studied in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Methods: We performed a prospective, randomized controlled trial (NCT01822769) of a 12-week clinical CR program compared with standard of care (SOC). Participants were ≥16 years old, had moderate or severe CHD, had O2 saturation ≥92%, and had peak O2 consumption ([Formula: see text]) < 80% predicted. We assessed exercise capacity, physical activity, quality of life, self-reported health status, and other variables at baseline and after 12 weeks. The prespecified primary end point was change in [Formula: see text]. Results: We analyzed data on 28 participants (aged 41.1 ± 12.1 years, 50% male), 13 randomized to CR and 15 to SOC. [Formula: see text] averaged 16.8 ± 3.8 mL/kg/min, peak work rate = 95 ± 28 W, and median Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) score = 27 (interquartile range: 11-44). Cardiac rehabilitation participants were older (48 ± 9 years vs 36 ± 12 years; P = .01), but there were no significant between-group differences in other variables. There were no adverse events related to CR. [Formula: see text] increased in the CR group compared with SOC (+2.2 mL/kg/min, 95% confidence interval: 0.7-3.7; P = .002, age-adjusted +2.7 mL/kg/min; P = .004); there was a nonsignificant improvement in work rate (+8.1 W; P = .13). Among the 25 participants with baseline MLHFQ > 5, there was a clinically important >5-point improvement in 72.7% and 28.6% of CR and SOC participants, respectively ( P = .047). Cardiac rehabilitation was also associated with improved self-assessment of overall health ( P < .04). Conclusions: Cardiac rehabilitation is safe and is associated with improvement in aerobic capacity and self-reported health status compared with SOC in adults with CHD.

Abstract
Background Physical activity improves health, exercise tolerance and quality of life in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD), and exercise training is in most patients a high-benefit low risk intervention. However, factors that influence the confidence to perform exercise training, i.e. exercise self-efficacy (ESE), in CHD patients are virtually unknown. We aimed to identify factors related to low ESE in adults with CHD, and potential strategies for being physically active. Methods Seventy-nine adults with CHD; 38 with simple lesions (16 women) and 41 with complex lesions (17 women) with mean age 36.7 ± 14.6 years and 42 matched controls were recruited. All participants completed questionnaires on ESE and quality of life, carried an activity monitor (Actiheart) during four consecutive days and performed muscle endurance tests. Results ESE in patients was categorised into low, based on the lowest quartile within controls, (≤ 29 points, n = 34) and high (> 29 points, n = 45). Patients with low ESE were older (42.9 ± 15.1 vs. 32.0 ± 12.4 years, p = 0.001), had more complex lesions (65% vs. 42%, p = 0.05) more often had New York Heart Association functional class III (24% vs. 4%, p = 0.01) and performed fewer shoulder flexions (32.5 ± 15.5 vs. 47.7 ± 25.0, p = 0.001) compared with those with high ESE. In a logistic multivariate model age (OR; 1.06, 95% CI 1.02–1.10), and number of shoulder flexions (OR; 0.96, 95% CI 0.93–0.99) were associated with ESE. Conclusion In this study we show that many adults with CHD have low ESE. Age is an important predictor of low ESE and should, therefore, be considered in counselling patients with CHD. In addition, muscle endurance training may improve ESE, and thus enhance the potential for being physically active in this population.

Abstract
Objective: Exercise interventions are underutilized in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) especially when the primary outcome is not peak oxygen uptake. Most of the studies are restricted to a low sample size and proximity of the patients to the study centers. Now eHealth approaches bear a promising but also challenging opportunity to transmit such intervention programs to participants, and check progress and compliance from remote. This study will aim to improve health-related physical fitness (HRPF) with a 24 weeks web-based exercise intervention. Methods and Design: The current study is planned as a randomized control trial (RCT) with a crossover design and the aim to improve functional outcome measures. It also estimates adherence and feasibility in patients with CHD in this web-based exercise/motor intervention over 24 weeks. Primary outcome will be the improvement of HRPF. Secondary outcomes are, functional and structural arterial stiffness measures and health-related quality of life. Thus, 70 children from 10 to 18 years with CHD of moderate and complex severity will be recruited and allocated randomly 1:1 in two study arms after baseline testing for their HRPF, arterial stiffness measures and health-related quality of life. For 24 weeks, participants in the intervention arm will receive three weekly exercise video clips of 20 min each. Every video clip comprises 20 child-oriented exercises which have to be executed for 30 s followed by a recovery period of 30 s. Each session will start with 3-4 warming-up exercises, followed by 10-12 strength and flexibility exercises, and ending with 3-4 min of cool down or stretching tasks. Continuous video clips will be streamed from a web-based e-Learning platform. The participant simply has to imitate the execution and follow some short advices. After each session, a brief online survey will be conducted to assess perceived exertion and feasibility. Discussion: The study will help to determine the efficacy and applicability of a web-based exercise intervention in children with CHD in regard to functional outcome measures. In addition, it will outline the effectiveness of remote monitoring, which provides a cost effective approach to reach patients with CHD that are low in prevalence and often do not live in close proximity to their tertiary center.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The goal of the present prospective study was to assess health-related quality of life in children and adolescents with CHD before and after cardiac catheter treatment. METHODS The study enrolled 96 children/adolescents with CHD from the north-east of China who underwent cardiac catheter intervention treatment between March, 2013 and January, 2014. The health-related quality of life at 24 hours before treatment, 1 month after treatment, and 6 months after treatment was evaluated using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Measurement Models 4.0 (PedsQLTM 4.0) generic core scales, and the scores were further compared. RESULTS Before treatment, each HRQOL domain score and the total score were obviously decreased than the post-treatment scores (1 month and 6 months). The total score and the scores in physical functioning and psychological functioning components were further increased 6 months after treatment than the scores 1 month after treatment. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that cardiac catheter interventional treatment improves the life quality of children or adolescents with CHD as time increases after the intervention.
