in acquired heart disease exercise training
became an inevitable treatment modality to
improve heart failure, quality of life and finally
even survival. Rehabilitation programs with
physical training is a class I (Level B)
recommendation for secondary prevention after
myocardial infarction and to treat ischemic heart
failure.
In congenital heart disease there are serious
concerns, but most of them limited to congenital
arrhythmic cardiomyopathies. Recent studies
showed that lack of physical activity impedes a
normal physical and psychological development
in childhood and curtails quality of life for the
whole life. Despite data on sport in patients with
congenital heart disease are rare, this
symposium will gather existing studies answering
the question when to limit and when to promote
exercise in congenital heart disease.
