Exercise may reduce heart disease risk in liver transplant recipients

(Wiley) New research reveals that metabolic syndrome -- risk factors that can lead to heart disease and/or stroke -- is common in liver transplant recipients, with rates highest at one year following the procedure. Findings published in Liver Transplantation, a journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the International Liver Transplantation Society, indicate that exercise could reduce complications from metabolic disease in patients post-transplantation.
