Virtual workout club aims to fight frailty in heart patients
NCT ID NCT05543733
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a virtual, at-home exercise program for adults with Fontan circulation, a type of heart condition. The goal is to see if the program can reduce frailty and improve exercise ability. About 53 participants will use a telemedicine program to exercise at home. The study also looks at whether this approach helps overcome barriers like distance or cost.
