This case series highlights the rehabilitation progress and physiologic factors relevant to patients who suffer a stroke associated with cardiac transplantation.
Case series offers preliminary rehab insights in post-transplant stroke; hypothesis-generating and leaves optimal strategies open.
A paucity of information exists concerning the mechanism and occurrence rate of stroke associated with cardiac transplantation. Furthermore, the rehabilitation of such patients has not been elaborated on. This report explores these issues and reviews the medical history and rehabilitation progress of four individuals who suffered a stroke before, or associated with, the transplantation process. Physiologic factors relevant to the rehabilitation of the post-heart transplantation stroke patient will also be discussed.
