Abstract
Abstract Purpose of review There are numerous health benefits to exercise, including improved cardiovascular, metabolic, and mental health. Despite these many benefits, children with cardiomyopathy have been traditionally restricted from engaging in exercise or participating in organized sports. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature regarding the utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing, discuss the safety and benefits of exercise and sports participation in children with cardiomyopathy, and to identify research gaps in the field. Recent findings We highlight relevant literature discussing exercise and sports participation in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy, and those with ventricular assist device support. We discuss recent literature describing methods for risk stratification. Summary The current literature globally favors promoting exercise and sports participation after appropriate risk stratification. Additionally, we offer guidance for how to safely promote exercise in children with cardiomyopathy.
期刊介绍:
This journal aims to review the most important, recently published treatment-related advances in cardiovascular medicine. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to elucidate novel approaches to treatment in those affected by the spectrum of cardiovascular-related diseases and conditions. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease and stroke, heart failure, pediatric and congenital heart disease, and valvular, myocardial, pericardial, and cardiopulmonary diseases. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
