Key result
Renal transplantation was followed by a remarkable improvement in cardiac function in three men with chronic disabling heart failure and severe left ventricular dysfunction.

Does renal transplantation improve cardiac function in patients with chronic disabling heart failure and severe LV impairment?
Renal transplantation may lead to remarkable improvement in cardiac function and successful rehabilitation in patients with severe left ventricular impairment.
Fleming et al. (1985) conducted a case report in Chronic disabling heart failure associated with severe left ventricular dysfunction (n=3). Renal transplantation was evaluated on Improvement in cardiac function. Renal transplantation was followed by a remarkable improvement in cardiac function in three men with chronic disabling heart failure and severe left ventricular dysfunction.
