Summary

In this controlled trial, patients with tetralogy of Fallot will be randomized to either interval training, continuous training, or usual care groups.

Detailed description

Patients after surgical correction of tetralogy of Fallot (cTF) have impaired exercise tolerance as compared to healthy age-matched individuals. In this controlled trial, patients with cTF will be randomized to either interval training, continuous training, or usual care. The aim of the study is to compare the effect of interval vs. continuous exercise training on: i) exercise capacity ii) vascular function iii) arrhythmogenic potential iv) parameters of inflammation, hemostasis and heart failure severity v) health-related quality of life adults with cTF

Conditions

• Tetralogy of Fallot

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Exercise training	Patients to be randomized to the 'interval training group' or 'continuous training group' will undergo exercise training sessions 3 times per week for a period of 12 weeks.
