Why the study?
Research regarding the effects of revised diastolic dysfunction on post-liver transplantation outcomes remains limited.
Does the presence of diastolic dysfunction predict cardiovascular adverse events and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation for decompensated cirrhosis?
Population
231 patients undergoing liver transplantation for decompensated cirrhosis
Comparison
Diastolic dysfunction vs non-diastolic dysfunction
Design
Retrospective propensity score-matched study
Follow-up
At least 1 year post-LT

Revised DD was associated with higher post-LT mortality and AEs; leaves open whether it should guide pre-LT risk stratification.
Does the presence of diastolic dysfunction predict cardiovascular adverse events and mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation for decompensated cirrhosis?
Diastolic dysfunction is a significant predictor of perioperative cardiovascular adverse events and 1-year mortality in patients undergoing liver transplantation for decompensated cirrhosis.
