The Effect of Rehabilitation Training and Total Checkup as a Noninvasive Method on Hemodynamic Parameters in Patientswho Candidate for Heart Transplantation

Aims: Heart transplantation is a valuable technique but the side effects of this surgery should be considered. The purpose of this study was toinvestigate the effect of rehabilitation training in patients who candidate for heart transplantation. Materials and Methods: This study was doneby semi‑experimental clinical trial method. Participants were selected from people who refer to the clinic (2010–2018). The information of thepatients who candidate for heart transplantation (4 women, 14 men) were obtained (age: 60 ± 13, body mass index: 26.7 ± 3.7). Hemodynamicparameters were measured before and after the treatments. Training setting was at least 3 months and based on the exercise test of patients.Pharmacological and nutritional control and lifestyle education were also carried out. Results: The hemodynamic parameters were improvedsignificantly (P ≤ 0.05). In some cases improvement in Pro Brain natriuretic peptide and homocysteine were observed. Conclusion: Along withother surgical techniques, it was possible to change the lifestyle as much as possible and encourage patients to noninvasive treatment. Patientsshould follow strict discipline, nutritional and drug policies. Patients should continue this lifestyle and positive thinking regularly. Probably themost important reason for patients undergoing heart transplant is sarcomeropathy. For this reason, regular exercise with effects on genetic signalingpathways can improve this condition if diagnosed early. Despite all the medical controls, it is likely that the most important point that improvespatient’s reliance is the patient’s trust in the treatment method and the existence of a human relationship between the patients and the physician.
