Chronotropic Response to Exercise is Decreased in Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Compared to Cardiomyopathy Following Pediatric Heart Transplantation
There is greater chronotropic incompetence in patients who underwent transplantation due to congenital heart disease compared to cardiomyopathy. The groups differ significantly by number of sternotomies, potentially supporting the hypothesis that prior surgical disruption of cardiac innervation may cause decreased chronotropic response to exercise following transplantation.
