Inspiratory Muscle Therapy in Subjects With Fontan Circulations

7 participantsStarted 2016-01-29

Plain-language summary

Individuals who have undergone the Fontan procedure are uniquely dependent upon respiratory mechanics to support pulmonary blood flow (PBF). The investigators hypothesized that enhanced respiratory muscle function via inspiratory muscle training (IMT) would improve performance on cardiopulmonary exercise stress testing (CPET).
