On-Line Intervention to Lower Cardiovascular Risk in Pediatric Heart Transplant Patients
Not Recruiting
Trial ID: NCT02519946
Purpose
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.
