Objective With the fear of heart failure and sudden death, many patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) traditionally were withheld from exercise activities. Much is reported on sedentary lifestyle with diminished exercise capacity in children with CHD which results in an increased cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to assess whether the sedentary lifestyle is also present in adulthood and whether this is associated with exercise capacity and quality of life (QoL) limitations. |
