Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of physical training on exercise capacity, quality of life, functional class, oxygen consumption and right ventricular function in patients with severe associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (APAH) as part of a congenital heart defect with / without Eisenmenger's Syndrome
