Post-transplant ejection fraction and renal failure in cardiac transplant recipients: An analysis of the OPTN database.
Mason LaiMandar A ArasMeyeon ParkPublished in: Clinical transplantation (2022)
Post-transplant left ventricular ejection fraction has value in predicting end stage kidney disease among adults who receive heart transplants alone. LVEF is routinely measured as part of contemporary post heart transplant care, and a diminished LVEF should signal to clinicians that a recipient is at increased risk of renal failure.
