“…may have led to selection bias, and the high dropout rate (28%) and lack of supervision during exercise may have contributed to the lack of significant group differences. Single case studies 8,9,31 have reported that exercise training in LVAD patients results in only small increases in peak VO 2 , whereas larger improvements are seen in sub-maximal exercise capacity. Our study, in contrast, showed significant improvements in both measures with exercise training, with a trend toward greater improvement in 6MWD (52%) than in peak VO 2 (41%).…”

“…26,[31][32][33] The demographics of our patients were similar to those reported earlier. 5,6,9,26 We included all patients with an LVAD implanted as a bridge to transplant during the trial period and did not limit our sample to low-risk patients. Our usual care involves early mobilization, progressing to hospital gym-based exercise in some patients, which may not reflect the usual care at other institutions.…”

“…In several reports on the effect of exercise training on exercise capacity in patients with LVADs, it was suggested that training primarily enhances submaximal exercise tolerance rather than PV O2. 8, 9 This effect may be related to the fact that maximum cardiac output and flow generated by a LVAD are limited and probably insufficient to meet the metabolic demands of higher workloads. The mechanism of this difference remains unclear, but the native cardiac functional reserve in those 8 patients may have improved more than in the others after LV unloading with a LVAD and optimal medical therapy.…”
