Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Congenital malformations correspond to defects in organ morphogenesis identifiable at birth or intrauterine life, affecting 2-3% of births. Inside of these malformations, Congenital Heart Disease corresponds, in particular, to structural defects of the heart or major blood vessels thereof may or may not be associated with other types of syndromes.The resolution is usually surgical.

Also, these patients present a decrease in physical fitness, psychological imbalance, lower quality of life and risk significant morbidity and mortality from respiratory infections among other problems.

This can have severe consequences for health in the medium and long term. The habits acquired during childhood and adolescence are determinant for the adult life, being relevant levels of activity and physical condition, especially in children with pathologies.

In this way, it is vital to know from childhood parameters that indicate the baseline state of these patients according to the levels of physical activity, exercise capacity, nutritional status and quality of life. These will be key indicators to take into account in the future, to adapt rehabilitation plans that will reduce the effects of their condition.

The objective of this protocol is To characterize the levels of Activity, and Physical Capacity of children with congenital heart disease regularly treated at the Cardiovascular Center of Dr. Luis Hospital Calvo Mackenna, compared to healthy children matched by age and sex.
