Beyond Survival: Redefining cardiac rehab to improve quality of life
Survival is only the beginning. In this episode of The Lead in Peds, Nathan Kuppermann, MD, MPH, talks with pediatric cardiologist and researcher Pascal Amedro, MD, PhD, about redefining cardiac rehabilitation to help children move beyond survival toward better function, confidence and quality of life. They discuss how CPET and VO2 max can uncover early deconditioning, and why a three-pillar model of exercise training, patient education and mental health support can transform recovery.
