Heart Transplant Patients, Health Status and Physical Activity

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The aim of this cross-sectional observational study is (1) to assess the health status of a group of heart transplant patients and their level of physical activity, (2) and to compare the health status of a group of heart transplant patients with different levels of physical activity, with a group of healthy people classified as sedentary (due to their level of physical activity).
