Özet
To determine the effect of functional performance, respiratory function, and osteopenia on the quality of life after heart transplantation. Thirty-one patients were included. Functional performance (peak oxygen consumption - pVO2), respiratory function, quality of life (the short form 36 - SF36) and lumbar spine and hip bone mineral density (BMD) were performed. There was a significant relationship between pVO2 and physical function and the physical role scores on the SF36 (p<0.05). Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the scores on the respiratory function tests and the physical and social function scores on the SF36 (p < 0.05). There was no significant relationship found between osteopenia and SF36 scores (p > 0.05). (c) 2007 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
