Maximal exercise capacity as measured by peak oxygen consumption (pVO₂) in cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) of heart transplant recipients (HTR) is limited to a 50–70% level of healthy age-matched controls. This study investigated the relationship between body composition and pVO₂ during the first decade post-transplant.

心脏移植后的身体成分和最大运动能力

在心脏移植受者 (HTR) 的心肺运动测试 (CPET) 中，通过峰值耗氧量 (pVO _{2 ) 测量的最大运动能力仅限于健康年龄匹配对照的 50-70% 水平。}本研究调查了移植后前十年身体成分与 pVO ₂之间的关系。
