Abstract
Exercise performance after pediatric heart transplantation is impaired and, despite an initial improvement, declines over time. This can be explained by increasing diastolic dysfunction independent of donor graft age. If confirmed, these findings point the direction to further research aimed at limiting this aerobic capacity decline after heart transplantation.
