Trial Summary
Trial Overview
Inclusion Criteria

Pediatric heart transplant patients have a high-risk cardiovascular profile affecting their
long-term outcomes and survival. Currently, no effective cardiovascular preventative care is
provided for this pediatric population, in part, due to the fact that clinic-based programs
are not easily accessible to children and their families. However, tele-health has been show
to improve medical outcomes by making care more accessible to these patients. This study aims
to meet the urgent need for an effective and sustainable delivery of preventative care to
pediatric heart transplant patients using a diet and exercise intervention program delivered
live over the internet direct to these patients' homes.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Heart transplant >11 months before baseline visit

- Able to fast overnight

- Cardiac clearance to exercise by the primary cardiologist

- Presence of an adult at home during the exercise training sessions for patients < 14
years of age

Exclusion Criteria:

- Acute illness

- Latex allergy

- Document transplant rejection < 3 months

- Re-transplantation or multi-organ transplantation

- Malignancy
