Summary
- exercise capacities are still altered after heart transplantation partly due to
peripheral endothelial dysfunction
- cyclosporin-induced renal dysfunction may be due to renal endothelial dysfunction and
can be reversed in an animal model by L-arginine supplementation
- to determine the potential beneficial effect of L-arginine supplementation on exercise
capacity and renal function of heart transplant recipients
