Summary

Most patients with complex congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy from acquired heart disease have reduced exercise capacity. Exercise capacity is associated with respiratory muscle strength and function. If structured respiratory muscle training positively influences respiratory muscle function in patients with structural heart disease is not well known. The aim of this study is to investigate whether regular singing lessons and breathing exercises improve respiratory muscle strength in patients with congenital or acquired structural heart disease.

BEHAVIORAL

Respiratory muscle training

The intervention is two-parted and includes weekly singing lessons in a choir, held by a professional instructor, with additional instructions for daily breathing exercise at home.
