Background: Endothelial dysfunction and peak oxygen uptake (VO) are also predictors of increased risk of cardiovascular events in heart transplantation (HTx) recipients. The preservation of endothelial function may contribute to exercise tolerance.
Objective: To investigate the correlation between peripheral endothelial function and exercise tolerance through VO and ventilation to carbon dioxide production slope (VE / VCO) in HTx recipients.

Article Synopsis
- - Post-COVID-19 patients often experience symptoms like dyspnea and fatigue, which can be alleviated through structured rehabilitation, aiming to enhance their physical capacity and aid recovery after hospitalization.
- - The study involved 26 adults who underwent a 12-session outpatient cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program, incorporating moderate-intensity aerobic and resistance training twice weekly, assessing their exercise tolerance, lung function, and overall quality of life.
- - Results showed significant improvements, including an 18.62% increase in peak oxygen consumption, better exercise endurance in a walking test, enhanced lung function, and reduced fatigue, highlighting the positive impact of structured rehabilitation on post-COVID recovery.
