Could interval training strengthen hearts after aortic repair?
Disease control By invitation onlyThis study tests whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve cardiovascular health in adults who had surgery to repair coarctation of the aorta, a narrowing of the main artery. Participants are randomly assigned to do HIIT at home, HIIT in a supervised clinic, or …
