Cardiac Rehabilitation for Inpatient Heart Transplant (HRN4HTx)

"HRN4HTx is a phase 1 rehabilitation intervention protocol for post-heart transplant focused on the physical exercise component, and an educational plan regarding risk factors and safety criteria. The intervention protocol and its assessments are implemented by the team's rehabilitation nurses, always safeguarding the protective isolation required for these patients. The physical training protocol is divided into five stages of progressive levels of intervention.
