Leg strength may be key to heart health in rare condition
NCT ID NCT07420660
First seen Feb 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study looks at how leg muscle size and strength affect circulation in people born with a single-chamber heart, a condition where the heart can't pump blood to the lungs on its own. Researchers will measure muscle mass, oxygen use, and quality of life in 40 adults aged 16-50 who have had the Fontan procedure. The goal is to understand the link between muscles and circulation, which could lead to better exercise programs for these patients.

What could go wrong
This is an observational study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It aims to understand the problem, not test a treatment, so direct benefits are uncertain.
