The Pivotal Role of an Early Post‐Acute Cardiac Rehabilitation as an Evidence‐Based Management of Left Ventricular Assist Device Patients
The study suggests that an early intensive post-acute CR program can significantly improve functional capacity and disability in LVAD patients, similar to HFrEF patients admitted to the same program. Our data support scientific recommendations suggesting participation of LVAD to a CR.
