Significant improvement in survival and quality of life in patients after the correction of congenital heart defects was enabled by the introduction of surgical procedures. Due to increased vulnerability in the period after defect correction, early rehabilitation have found its place in recovery. Various studies suggest good effects of a rehabilitation programme especially in the early rehabilitation period.
