Tremendous thanks to all for helped with the statement. Understanding of exercise physiology is essential to assist with caring for those with CHD! @GlocoFitCHD @ACSMNews @naspem @CincyKidsHeart @CincyChildrens
CPET is essential for comprehensive care of patients w/ CHD, offering valuable prognostic insights & assisting in clinical decision-making across various congenital heart conditions, thereby significantly ⬆️patient management & outcomes. ✍🏼 @AdamPowellMD @_Dave_W @BarbaraCifra

"Growing up they were warned exercise was too dangerous for their damaged hearts." Great to see HRI's world-first study, led by Assoc Prof Rachael Cordina and @derekleetran, getting such prominent media coverage in @dailytelegraph over the weekend! #CHD #hearthealth

Paternalism must go! #CHD patients want to know the truth about their disease course and life expectancy so they can plan accordingly. 6/7 👉 https://t.co/Nclj13HEoo

Thank you, @ClubLimeGyms, @FitnessFirstAU, @mariettamehanni, & @PolarAUS, for supporting this research! If you live in Australia NSW, QLD, VIC, ACT, or WA, express your interest to find out more and see if you are eligible. https://t.co/Pn7rcAWfxw

Heart Research Institute researchers are working to determine whether regular exercise could be the key to improving the life expectancy of congenital heart disease patients.

Exercise remains an underutilised therapy in people with congenital heart disease (CHD). Our multicentre clinical trial will provide evidence to help develop exercise guidelines and models of care for people living with CHD! @ESSA_NEWS @HRIAust @USYD_CVI @MedResearchNSW @CPC_usyd
More exercise for long-term health is one of the pillars of chronic disease prevention. But the benefits are not as clear for Australians born with heart disease, prompting a world-first trial to see if more movement helps. @gabyrogers #9News

I’m actively recruiting for my Fellowship project! We’re looking for volunteers who live with #atrialfibrillation and those without! Please get in touch if interested and please retweet amongst your networks!
Looking to start exercising this year? If you're aged between 40-80 and located near @Deakin Burwood, you can help us learn about the effects of exercise on your blood vessel health! Learn more ➡ https://t.co/6PNCMvBWst

Is this the best paper of the year? Can a lot of HFpEF be prevented/cured by exercise? Should we stop skipping the physical activity part of the office visit? Interested in thoughts https://t.co/4suDXNl45T

This one suggests that aerobic physical activity durations of 3 hours/week and resistance training exercise ~1–2 times/week may substantively reduce the risk of all-cause mortality, with their combination confering additional mortality risk reduction beyond cardio alone.
