Abstract

Frailty is a novel risk factor which is associated with prolonged hospitalisation and death post cardiac transplantation [1–2]. Recent data suggest at least partial reversibility of pre-transplant frailty [1]. Prehabilitation programs may help reduce frailty prior to surgery and prevent post-operative complications [3]. We report the burden of frailty and uptake of prehabilitation in a contemporary Australian cohort.
