This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new approach called neuro-cardiac rehabilitation—a combination of tailored exercise training, online brain-training games, and telemedicine consultations—to help young people (ages 8–25) with congenital heart disease feel better physically and emotionally. The program runs for 12 weeks at home and aims to improve quality of life, mental health, and exercise capacity, which are areas where many young people with heart disease struggle as they grow older.
Young people with congenital heart disease often develop problems with learning, attention, mood, and physical fitness as they get older, which significantly affects their quality of life. This trial exists to see if combining heart-focused exercise with brain training and counseling at home can prevent or reduce these problems.

If you join the active intervention group, you will complete 12 weeks of training at home: two 1-hour exercise sessions per week (one in-person with a trainer, one by video) using an exercise bike and adapted activities, plus two 25-minute computerized brain-training sessions per week and one weekly video consultation with a mental health specialist to discuss emotional regulation and managing daily life. The control group receives standard cardiology care without the intervention program. All participants complete quality-of-life questionnaires and exercise testing at the start and 12 months after enrollment.
