This publication brings together the work of experts involved in the study of physical rehabilitation after transplant operations. The main sections of the book are concerned with cardiac transplantation. Subjects include cardiovascular adaptation to exercise after a heart transplantation, dysfunction of the left ventricle of transplanted hearts, and the neuroendocrine responses to exercise by heart transplant recipients. The modalities and results of rehabilitation after cardiac transplantation are also discussed, as well as the physical training required to recover a normal degree of fitness after such an operation. The book also covers other organs transplants and studies the factors that influence the exercise capacity in hemodialysis and renal transplant patients, the metabolic responses to exercise of liver transplant recipients and finally, the osteoarticular and muscular complications that may arise after organ transplantation, and in this context the role of immunosuppressive therapy.
