    Abstract Children with congenital heart disease are at risk for developing increased arterial stiffness and this may be modulated by physical activity. Objective: To compare arterial stiffness in high- and low-physically active children with congenital heart disease and healthy age- and sex-matched controls.
    Patients: Seventeen children with congenital heart disease (12 ± 2 years; females = 9), grouped by low- and high-physical activity levels from accelerometry step count values, and 20 matched controls (11 ± 3 years; females = 9) were studied.
    Outcome Measures: Carotid-radial pulse wave velocity was assessed with applanation tonometry to determine arterial stiffness. Body composition… More >
