Abstract

Cardiac rehabilitation programs for children with congenital heart defects (CHD) are known to be safe, effective, and can support the effects of surgical interventions. However, until now, optimal rehabilitation programs for children with CHD have not been developed. The article analyzes the problems of long-term follow-up of children operated on for aortic coarctation, the features of their dynamic monitoring and approaches to the prescription of rehabilitation programs. It is concluded that it is necessary to carefully monitor the state of health throughout life and to carry out rehabilitation measures individually designed for each child. A comprehensive rehabilitation program should include measures to improve physical, psychological and social aspects of the children in order to reduce the risks of possible complications and improve the quality of life. The development of rehabilitation programs for patients after surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta should also improve the long-term prospects of this category of patients, such as elimination of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, reduction of disability, morbidity and mortality
