Preserved left ventricular function during supine exercise in patients after orthotopic cardiac transplantation
Abstract
Cardiac denervation may affect cardiovascular responses during exercise in patients after orthotopic cardiac transplantation. In 17 such patients, haemodynamic responses and left ventricular function were examined by radionuclide ventriculography during and after supine exercise, at an average of 17.1 +/- 2.6 months after surgery. Data were also obtained during 'volume loading' brought about by leg elevation before exercise. Results were …
