Abstrakt: | Background: Previous work has shown sex-related differences in cardiopulmonary responses in patients with heart failure (HF); however, sex differences following heart transplant (HTx) have not been examined. Thus, we hypothesized women would demonstrate lower peak oxygen uptake (VO Methods: HTx patients with cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) between 2007 and 2016 were included. Pre-HTx CPET occurred within 24 months pre-HTx with post-HTx CPET within 12 months following HTx. VO Results: Eighty-eight patients (Men [M]: n = 63, age: 55 ± 12 years; Women [W]: n = 25, age: 47 ± 11 years) were assessed. Pre-HTx VO Conclusions: These data demonstrate that cardiopulmonary improvements following HTx patients occur for both sexes. Importantly, women show similar significant functional improvements following HTx compared with men. (Copyright © 2019 Canadian Cardiovascular Society. Published by Elsevier Inc.
