Abstract
Cardiac transplantation has transformed the prognosis of NYHA Class IV severe cardiac failure. However, despite a ''new heart'', the exercis e tolerance of transplanted patients remains poor for a long time. Car diac denervation which decreases the chronotropic reserve, diastolic l eft ventricular dysfunction and intrinsic muscular abnormalities relat ed to lack of training and to treatment are the underlying causes.
