Sarcopenia in adult congenital heart disease
Description: Sarcopenia is not uncommon in adults with congenital heart disease. Skeletal muscle and relevant hormone, grelin, have a positive effect on the cardiac function. There is a possibility that appropriate amino acid intake and resistance training keep appropriate skeletal muscle mass and improve chronic heart failure, particularly in Fontan circulation.
