Pre-Transplant Cardiac Evaluation in Liver Transplant Recipients

Listen to this summary

This review aims to address the critical question of how to effectively assess pre-transplant cardiac risk in liver transplant (LT) candidates, given the rising prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities in this population. The authors provide an overview of the prevalence of cardiac pathologies among LT candidates, their impact on waitlist survival and post-transplant outcomes, and highlight advancements in screening and management strategies to improve recipient selection and mitigate cardiac risks.
