Abstract:
Decreased exercise tolerance is a common clinical issue in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), significantly impacting their long-term quality of life and increasing the risk of adverse cardiovascular events.However, due to the complexity of CHD, the diversity of assessment methods, and the limitations in equipment accessibility, standardized protocols for evaluating and intervening in exercise tolerance are still lacking.In order to provide a basis for improving exercise tolerance in children with CHD, the latest domestic and international research on the assessment and intervention of exercise tolerance in children with CHD was systematically summarized.The applicability, advantages, and limitations of existing methods, including cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the 6-minute walk test, and smart wearable devices in clinical practice were discussed.Furthermore, the effectiveness of various intervention strategies (such as exercise training, nutritional management, surgical correction, and pharmacological treatment) in improving exercise tolerance was analyzed.
