Abstract

BACKGROUND: Decreased peak oxygen consumption during exercise (peak Vo

METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a retrospective analysis of adult heart transplant recipients at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania who underwent cardiopulmonary exercise testing within a year of transplant between the years 2000 to 2011. Using time-to-event models, we analyzed the hazard of mortality over nearly two decades of follow-up as a function of post-transplant percent predicted peak Vo

CONCLUSIONS: Post-transplant peak Vo
