Summary

Barth syndrome (BTHS) is a genetic disease that results in heart failure, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. Several studies in non-BTHS heart failure suggest that endurance exercise training is beneficial in improving exercise intolerance, heart function and quality of life in young men with BTHS. This study will examine the effects of Endurance (i.e. aerobic) exercise training on exercise tolerance, heart function, and quality of life in adolescents and young adults with BTHS. We hypothesize that 3 months of endurance training will improve exercise tolerance, heart function and quality of life in adolescents and young men with BTHS.
