Examining the Role of Exercise Training in Enhancing Life for Adult Congenital Heart Disease: Systematic Review.

Background: Current guidelines advise exercise for most congenital heart disease patients (CHD). However, physical activity remains low in CHD individuals, with limited research on exercise's effects in adults.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of exercise training on exercise capacity and quality of life in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) patients.

Investigation of cardiopulmonary parameters, motor development and muscle strength in children with Down syndrome with and without congenital heart disease.

Background: Children with Down syndrome (DS) frequently have concomitant clinical problems. There are no studies in the literature evaluating gross motor development and handgrip strength in the presence of congenital heart disease (CHD), which is one of the most common comorbidities in population with DS. The aim of this study was to compare cardiopulmonary parameters, gross motor development and handgrip strength in children with DS with and without CHD.
