Home Exercise And Resiliency Training (Heart) Club

Description

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the impact of a telemedicine-based structured home exercise program on frailty and exercise capacity in individuals with Fontan heart physiology, demonstrate that a telemedicine exercise program reduces socioeconomic and geographic barriers to access to exercise training, and to explore the impact of a structured exercise program on markers of Fontan-associated liver disease.
