The effect of preoperative cognitive behavior and exercise therapy for patient with implanted LVAD in Korea: Case presentation

Left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are used in patients with progressive heart failure symptoms to provide circulatory support. Patients with LVADs are referred to inpatient cardiac rehabilitation to prevent postoperative complications and improve aerobic capacity and quality of life (QOL). Preoperative exercise therapy for cardiac patients is an emerging treatment modality, and several studies have reported that it improves postoperative outcomes such as length of hospital stay and postoperative complications.
