简要总结
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to deepen the understanding of the pathophysiology in adults with congenital heart disease (CHD). Through this research, the investigators aim to identify potential strategies to improve the prevention and treatment of these patients. In this context, the effects of exercise training will also be assessed. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Is coronary microvascular dysfunction (MVD) present in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Is peripheral MVD present in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Are coronary and peripheral MVD correlated in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Is microvascular function correlated with inflammation and oxidative stress in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Are inflammation and oxidative stress correlated with ventricular function in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Are MVD and diminished ventricular function interrelated and associated with reduced exercise capacity in adults with diverse types of CHD?
- Does exercise training in adults with CHD result in improvements in coronary and peripheral microvascular function, inflammation and oxidative stress, biventricular function, muscle strength, exercise capacity and quality of life?
For the last research question, patients were randomized to receive either conventional care or home-based aerobic and strength exercise training.

结局指标
主要结局
Coronary microvascular function: coronary flow reserve
时间窗: on both study visits (at baseline and at 16 weeks)
The coronary flow reserve (CFR) was measured using pulsed wave Doppler measurements at the mid to distal left anterior descending artery (LAD) in an apical modified 2-chamber view. At baseline and during hyperemia (following a 3-minute period of intravenous adenosine administration at a rate of 140 µg/kg/min), three optimal profiles of peak diastolic Doppler flow velocities were measured, and the results were averaged. CFR was then calculated as the ratio between hyperemic and basal average peak velocities.
