Vi. Shumakov et al., THE TRENDS IN HEART-RATE AND ARTERIAL-PRE SSURE IN RESPONSE TO BICYCLE EXERCISE AFTER HEART-TRANSPLANTATION, Terapevticeskij arhiv, 67(9), 1995, pp. 75-78
Compared to healthy controls, patients with transplanted heart have hi
gher baseline heart rate (HR), delayed initial HR reaction, slower cha
nges of HR both during exercise and after it, diminished chronotropic
and inotropic reserves. The data obtained contribute to better underst
anding of physiology of transplanted denervated heart and objective as
sessment of patients after heart transplantation.
