Why the study?

Does pediatric heart transplantation alter cardiorespiratory responses to exercise compared to healthy matched controls?

Population

14 consecutive pediatric heart transplant recipients and 14 healthy matched controls.

Comparison

Bruce treadmill test and lung function tests vs Healthy matched controls

Design

Case-control

Overview

Pediatric transplant recipients show impaired exercise responses; hypothesis-generating for rehabilitation trials before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does pediatric heart transplantation alter cardiorespiratory responses to exercise compared to healthy matched controls?

Population

14 consecutive pediatric heart transplant recipients (6 girls, 8 boys, age range 5-15 years) and 14 healthy matched controls.

Intervention

Bruce treadmill test and lung function tests (FVC, FEV1)

Comparator

Healthy matched controls

Outcome

Cardiorespiratory responses to exercise including duration of test, resting and maximum heart rates, maximum systolic blood pressure, peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak), and cardiac outputsurrogate

Pediatric heart transplant recipients exhibit reduced exercise tolerance and chronotropic incompetence compared to healthy controls, highlighting the need for supervised physical activity programs.
