Congenital Heart Disease Physical Activity Lifestyle Study V.2

Description

The Congenital Heart Disease Physical Activity Lifestyle Intervention Study (CHD-PALS) V.2 seeks to determine the efficacy of a lifestyle intervention program for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with congenital heart disease (CHD). This trial was adapted from the original CHD-PAL trial to continue improving cardiovascular outcomes for transition-aged CHD survivors.
