“…27,28 This is in part due to a limited ability of these subjects to increase HR with exercise. [27][28][29][30][31] Sympathetic re-innervation in adult heart transplant recipients is associated with not only higher peak HR during exercise but also with improved regional left ventricular function during exercise in innervated myocardial regions. 9,19 Although myocardial scintigraphic studies to study re-innervation have not been performed in pediatric heart transplant recipients, other previously published work indirectly supports this phenomenon.…”

“…These findings have been supported in reports of perception of physical functional disability earlier after heart transplantation 5, 17 . In addition, Evangelista et al 8 have previously reported that 85% of female heart transplant recipients engage in low or minimal levels of physical activity, and Renlund et al 49 , and Leung et al 48 have reported that female gender is related to worse exercise capacity after heart transplantation. The evidence suggests that female transplant recipients have limitations in physical function.…”

The manuscript will undergo copyediting, typesetting, and review of the resulting proof before it is published in its final citable form. Please note that during the production process errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain. Background-Researchers have not examined relationships between perception of physical functional disability and demographic, clinical, and psychological variables at 5-10 years after heart transplantation. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to describe physical functional disability over time and identify predictors of physical functional disability from 5 to 10 years after heart transplantation.
