Abstract
Physical work capacity in heart transplant
recipients typically does not exceed 60% of age-predicted
normal levels. It is unknown what levels might be achieved
in these patients if they were involved in strenuous exercise
training prior to transplantation. A 37 year-old,
professionally trained male cyclist suffered an acute
myocardial infarction immediately following a road race and
received a heart transplant four months later. The participant
resumed training for competitive cycling one month
following the transplant. His peak VO2 was 92% and peak
heart rate was 90% of age predicted values six months post
transplant. Results indicate that for this participant, a more
aggressive approach to heart transplant recovery was well
tolerated and suggests that similar programs could be applied
to other heart transplant recipients.
