Abstract: Severe cardiac failure prior to cardiac transplantation (CT) is associated with a limitation to physical activity, cachexia and loss of muscle mass (Perme et al). After CT we know the lack of tolerance for exercise due to a complex multifactorial origin, complex interactions of cardiac, neurohormonal, vascular, muscular and pulmonary origin (Marconi C, et al). Long-lasting left ventricular assistance devices (LVAD) are designed For bridge to CT or target therapy, a good cardiac rehabilitation program (PRC) is essential to avoid complications and improve the patient's functional capacity. In the HSCSP, only three patients with a history of HF and the implantation of LVAD-Heartmate III as a transplant bridge were operated, once they were stable, they were started with physiotherapy treatment before and after Surgical Intervention (IQ).

Posteriormente al TC conocemos la falta de tolerancia el ejercicio debido a un origen multifactorial complejas interacciones de origen cardiaco, neurohormonal, vascular, sistema muscular y pulmonar (Marconi C, et al) Los dispositivos de Asistencia Ventricular izquierda (LVAD) de larga durada están pensados para puente a TC o terapia destino, un buen programa de rehabilitación cardíaca (PRC) es esencial para evitar complicaciones y mejorar la capacidad funcional del paciente. En el HSCSP han sido intervenidos tres únicos pacientes con antecedentes de IC y la implantación de LVAD- Heartmate III como puente a trasplante, una vez estables se les inició tratamiento de fisioterapia pre y post Intervención Quirúrgica (IQ).
