Pre-transplant left ventricular global longitudinal strain was independently associated with major adverse cardiovascular events following kidney transplantation.
Does pre-transplant left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) predict long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in kidney transplant candidates?
Pre-transplant global longitudinal strain is independently associated with long-term major adverse cardiovascular events in kidney transplant recipients, suggesting its utility in cardiovascular risk stratification.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In this retrospective single-center study, GLS was independently associated with MACE in KTRs, supporting a potential role for GLS in cardiovascular risk assessment in KT candidates.
