No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of an individualized, spiroergometry- guided training on cardiopulmonary fitness in patients with a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Secondary endpoints are to establish an individualized but standardized and clinically safe training protocol for patients with LVAD implanted. The investigators aim to include sixty patients with first implanted LVAD to be included in this study over a term of 24 months. All study participants will perform cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) at baseline before randomization and at the end of the study. Randomization into a control group and a training group will be performed subsequently. The control group will receive standard physiotherapeutic treatment as usual, including respiratory supportive therapy, mobilization, stability and coordination training. The training group will additionally receive five individualized training sessions on ergometer per week. Three sessions will consist of interval training; the other two sessions will consist of endurance training. The training group will further perform CPET every two weeks in order to adjust their individual training protocol.
