Sažetak
Once a mechanical circulatory support (MCS) system has been inserted the physiotherapists’
role is crucial to prepare the patient either for transplantation, for upgrade to
long-term MCS or for device explant. There are numerous considerations for rehabilitation
that should be addressed in order to provide a safe and effective exercise programme.
This paper highlights considerations for exercise in both short-term and long-term
MCS devices.
