About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This thesis will examine the consequences of congenital heart disease (CHD) surgery in children. The main goal of this work is to point out the possible development of late consequences after cardiac surgery in childhood (e.g. asymmetry, scoliosis, hypomobility of the spine) and to assess the effect of DNS therapy on the resolution of the consequences. For patients, after an intensive three-week rehabilitation intervention, an improvement in the monitored initial parameters is expected, which would lead to an improvement in the quality of life.
