Exercise May Benefit Children With Heart Conditions
New research from the American Heart Association suggests that light to moderate intensity exercise may provide benefits that outweigh risks for children with heart conditions. The study indicates that regular monitoring of heart conditions can allow these children to maintain physical fitness and quality of life. This finding differs from previous studies that discouraged physical activity due to fears of worsening heart function or sudden cardiac death. Officials state these findings support maintaining fitness levels in this demographic.
