Objectives:Medical: What is the effect of an exercise training program in children and young adults (up to 20 years of age) who have undergone treatment for ConHD (tetralogy of Fallot or Fontan procedure) on: a) aerobic fitness, b) ventricular size…
To get insight in the long term results (mortality, morbidity and cardiologic function) of patients with congenital heart disease operated at young age. To compare whether the changes in surgical techniques have resulted in an increase of (…
1. To detrrmine the applicability of standard energy expenditure prediction equations for accelerometry in measuring physical activity in children with musculoskeletal and other chronic diseases (see below).2. To develop disease specific prediction…
This study will investigate the feasibility of a hypoxic challaenge test (60 minutes duration). During this test the inspired air will have a oxygen content of 15%. This is a comparable value as is used during a commercial airline flight (ca 2500…
To investigate maternal hemodynamics, with particular focus on right ventricular function in relation to uteroplacental flow characteristics in pregnant women with ToF.
The aim of the proposed randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to determine the effectiveness, and related healthcare costs of a mHealth-based targeted clinical monitoring pathway in GUCH patients. The primary research question is to assess the effect…
Primary Objective: To assess the efficacy, expressed by change in peak oxygen consumption obtained with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), of a HIIT program in patients with an RV-PA conduit.Secondary Objective(s): To determine predictors for…
Despite continuous improvements in the medical management of pediatric patients with CHD, the risk of thrombotic events remains an important complication for pediatric patients following the Fontan procedure.The National Heart, Lung and Blood…
