Abstract:
Congenital heart defects are the result of disruption of embryogenesis processes and are
characterized by various pathologies of the structure of the heart and great vessels. Thanks to the
development of cardiovascular surgery and cardiac rehabilitation, many children born with heart
defects can live full lives. In recent years, the role of the effectiveness of physical rehabilitation in
preventing complications of the postoperative period and the safety of individually selected regular
physical activity for the child’s body has been increasingly discussed. Physical rehabilitation
programs can improve the quality of life of this category of patients by achieving optimal physical
performance in a short time.
