In heart transplant (HTx) recipients, there has been reluctance to recommend high-intensity
interval training (HIIT) due to denervation and chronotropic impairment of the heart. We
compared the effects of 12 weeks' HIIT versus continued moderate exercise (CON) on
exercise capacity and chronotropic response in stable HTx recipients> 12 months after
transplantation in a randomized crossover trial. The study was completed by 16 HTx
recipients (mean age 52 years, 75% males). Baseline peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak) was�…
