Summary

A prospective, interventional, single-group, single centre study to evaluate the feasibility of early aerobic exercise training in patients following heart valve surgery for infective endocarditis.

Conditions

  • Endocarditis
  • Heart Valve Diseases

Interventions

OTHER

Aerobic interval training

The intervention will start between 7 and 21 days after heart valve surgery. While hospitalized the participants will perform supervised aerobic interval training comprised 4x4 minute, 3 times per week. Intensity will start at 60% of maximum heart rate in the first week, around 13-14 in Borg RPE-Scale. The workload will be gradually increased as the participant tolerance improves, but not above 85% of maximum heart rate or 16-17 in Borg RPE Scale.
