SPORTKARDIOLOGIE

In this case report, we describe the effects of an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program that was supplemented by unsupervised home-based exercise training in a patient with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). This patient performed cycle ergometer as well as resistance training once weekly...
