I can give you some references on exercise for heart transplant patients,
Juliana. The main difference of course for these patients is that the heart
is denervated and therefore heart rate cannot be used as a means of
determining intensity of exercise. Literature on exercise post cardiac
transplantation abounds, so I've just listed a few below.
Cardiac rehabilitation Issues for Heart Transplantation Patients.
R.W. Squires
J. Cardiopulm. Rehab. vol 10, 159-68, 1990
Exercise Folloing Cardiac Transplantation - Recommendations for
Rehabilitation.
Keteyian et al
Sports Medicine vol 8 no 5, 251 -9, 1989
Physical Training for hear transplant recipients
Kavanagh, T.
J. Cardiovasc Risk 1996 April; 3 (2) 116-21
Responses to acute exercise and training after cardiac transplantation: a
review.
Shephard, R.J.
Canadian J Sports Sci 16 (1) Mar 1991, 9-22
Effect of Acute allograft rejection on exercise haemodynamics in patients
who have undergone cardiac transplantation.
Nanas, J.N. et al
Chest 1995 Jun; 107 (6): 1517-21
The debate about reinnervation of the transplanted heart continues in
journals such as Circulation ...... I have references on this if you would
like them.
