Both groups also showed a decreasing trend of aspartate aminotransferase, significant in LVAD patients only, and an increasing trend of glucose, significant in HTx patients only.μ Finally, there were no changes in the end-diastolic diameter or ejection fraction of the LVAD patients from admission to discharge of the CR program while all the MLHFQ scores and the anxiety score of the HADS questionnaire decreased significantly and the SF-36 scores on activity, vitality, general and mental health and social role increased significantly ( Table 2 ).
