Abstract: Introduction: Heart transplantation is currently the only widely accepted surgical alternative to treat patients with severe heart failure (HF) drug therapy cannot maintain optimal quality of life appropriate.Objective: To describe and to compare the values between pre-and postoperative physical capacity and pulmonary patients who underwent heart transplantation.Methods: A retrospective cohort composed of patients undergoing heart transplantation between January 2001 to March 2005 in IC-FUC/RS.Results: Were in… Show more

“…Coronel et al25 described and compared pre-and postoperative physical and pulmonary capacity of patients who underwent heart transplantation and conclude that changes in ventilatory function of subjects undergoing cardiac transplantation are predictable: respiratory muscle strength and lung capacity recover within two weeks and a good strategy is to aim at at an improvement of functional capacity above pre-operative levels. Yoshimori et al26 studied cardiovascular behavior and safety regarding a low-intensity exercise program for heart transplant candidates with severe heart failure and find that it proved to be safe and well tolerated, but requires monitoring.…”

“…Coronel et al 26 assessed patients before HT and reported mean MIP and MEP values of 88.85 ± 29.28 cmH 2 O and 122.7 ± 42.02 cmH 2 O, respectively. These values were higher than those determined in our study.…”

“…Regular physical activity plays an important posttransplant role and should be started early to restore physical capacity, enabling transplanted patients back to perform most of their daily activities and also recreation. When implementing a basic program of mobilization and respiratory therapy, cardiac transplant patients were able to retrieve the values of lung volumes and capacities and improve the useful functional capacity [28].…”
