Overview

Supports incorporating exercise into post-transplant care; leaves open effects on survival and rejection.

Structured PICO

Does exercise training improve physiological and functional outcomes in cardiac transplant recipients?

P
Population
Cardiac transplant recipients
I
Intervention
Medically supervised rehabilitative exercise training programs
O
Outcome
Physiological and functional benefits (maximal oxygen uptake, peak exercise power output, anaerobic threshold, lean body mass, heart rate, blood pressure)surrogate

Exercise training provides significant physiological and functional benefits for cardiac transplant recipients, though its impact on hard clinical outcomes like survival or rejection remains unknown.

Limitations

  • There are no data to suggest that exercise training alters the incidence of infection or rejection or improves longevity or return to pre-illness lifestyle.
  • No data to suggest that exercise training alters the incidence of infection or rejection or improves longevity or return to pre-illness lifestyle

Cite This Study

Ray W. Squires (1991) conducted a review in Cardiac transplantation. Exercise training was evaluated. Exercise training in cardiac transplant recipients improves maximal oxygen uptake, peak exercise power output, anaerobic threshold, and lean body mass, and lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure.
