Patients undergoing orthotopic cardiac transplantation manifest reduced exercise capacity during the first postoperative year, which is related primarily to chronotropic incompetence of the denervated heart. To determine whether exercise capacity improves during the long term after transplantation, we prospectively studied 45 patients from 1 month to 6 years after cardiac transplantation by use of maximal treadmill exercise testing for measurement of exercise duration, peak heart rate, and peak VO2. All had normal left ventricular ejection fractions. Patients were categorized according to length of time since transplant and compared to 14 untrained normal subjects.
