Evaluation of coronary artery disease in potential liver transplant recipients.
TLDR
In assessing LT recipients, a management paradigm of “quadruple assessment” is suggested to include (1) history, examination, and electrocardiogram; (2) transthoracic echocardiograms; (3) functional testing; and (4) where appropriate, direct assessment of CAD.About:

Outcomes of surgical coronary revascularization performed pre-solid abdominal organ transplant
Caleb R. Matthews,James B. Millward,Zainab Faiza,Niharika Namburi,Lava Timsina,Philip J. Hess,Joel S. Corvera,Jeffrey E. Everett,Daniel J. Beckman,Lawrence S. Lee +9 more
TL;DR: Outcomes following CABG in the pre-kidney and pre-liver transplant population are poor and despite surgical revascularization, the vast majority of patients do not ultimately undergo transplantation.

CAQ Corner: Surgical evaluation for liver transplantation
Asish C. Misra,Juliet Emamaullee +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors review the liver transplantation evaluation from a surgical perspective and present several studies and interventions that can be used to assess and potentially prepare a patient for liver transplant.

Cardiac Evaluation in Liver Transplantation
TL;DR: Common cardiac comorbidities, frequently used testing modalities, and updated literature on cardiac evaluation in liver transplant candidates are discussed.

Cardiac Evaluation and Management
TL;DR: Cardiovascular assessment is an essential part of the pretransplant evaluation for liver transplantation, as cardiovascular complications are an important cause of perioperative and post-transplant morbidity and mortality.

Changings and Challenges in Liver Transplantation for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease/Steatohepatitis
TL;DR: Liver transplantation for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis (NAFLD/NASH) is increasing rapidly worldwide as mentioned in this paper , which is more frequently associated with a systemic metabolic syndrome, which significantly affects other organs, requiring multidisciplinary management.
