No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The current research study proposes to examine participants with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) who are randomly assigned to either an exercise training program intervention or a heart healthy education program intervention. We will look at changes in the functioning of the autonomic nervous system over time and between intervention groups. We are also going to be looking at changes in frequencies of the ICD participants' heart arrhythmias and ICD therapies (e.g., pacing, shock).; as well as, changes in exercise tolerance, psychological well-being, and quality of life.
