Summary

This study tests whether a 12-week, home-based exercise program can improve heart health in people who have had a kidney transplant. Heart problems are the leading cause of death in these patients, partly due to common conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes, plus the medications needed to prevent organ rejection. Half of the 50 participants will follow the exercise program, while the other half continues usual care; researchers will use MRI scans and other tests to measure changes in heart and blood vessel function.
