| Data ID | 2375 |
| Factor | 3 weeks of 6MWD(6-minute walking distance) |
| Description | Patients significantly improved the mean distance walked in 6 min compared to baseline by 63±47 m after 3 weeks (p<0.001) and by 67±59 m after 15 weeks (p=0.001). Individual changes in six-minute-walking distance (6MWD) after 3 and 15 weeks of exercise training.With the use of Wilcoxon test according to baseline walking distance, p<0.001 was obtained for the comparison to baseline with week 3 and p=0.001 with week 15. |

| Application | prognosis |
| Objective | to assess the efficacy of exercise training as add-on to medical therapy in patients with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension. |
| p Value | <0.001 |
| Conclusion | Exercise training as add-on to medical therapy may be effective in patients with CHD–APAH and improved work capacity, quality of life and further prognostic relevant parameters. It was associated with an excellent long-term survival. |
