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.

Screening of Cardiovascular Disease in Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: Whom and How?

TL;DR: The current review article discusses as to which patients with NAFLD to screen and how to screen for CVD, and there is sparse literature regarding the screening forCVD in patients withNAFLD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pre–Liver Transplant Cardiac Catheterization Is Associated With Low Rate of Myocardial Infarction and Cardiac Mortality

TL;DR: This screening protocol for performing CATH based upon predefined risk factors, rather than noninvasive testing alone, is applied to a larger cohort (2010‐2016) to assess post‐LT clinical outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Management of metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular risk after liver transplantation

TL;DR: The management of the components of metabolic syndrome following liver transplantation is discussed and practical stepwise guidance is provided and the need for adequately powered studies for the treatment of metabolic comorbidities in liver transplant recipients is emphasised.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk stratification of myocardial injury after liver transplantation in patients with computed tomographic coronary angiography-diagnosed coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: In conclusion, negative CTCA finding in suspected patients can successfully exclude post‐LT MI, whereas proceeding with invasive angiography is needed to further risk‐stratify in patients with significant C TCA‐diagnosed CAD.

Aerobic capacity during cardiopulmonary exercise testing and survival with and without liver transplantation for patients with chronic liver disease

TL;DR: In patients who did not undergo transplantation, impaired AT was predictive of mortality, and in patients undergoing LT, it was related to postoperative hospitalization and survival, and AC should be evaluated as a modifiable factor for improving patient survival whether or not LT is anticipated.

Cardiac dysfunction during liver transplantation: incidence and preoperative predictors.

TL;DR: Abnormal cardiac response is observed during liver transplantation and may be a manifestation of occult cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and is underestimated with usual diagnostic tools and could be related to indirect signs of circulatory dysfunction of advanced liver disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of intraoperative hypotension and pulmonary hypertension with adverse outcomes after orthotopic liver transplantation.

TL;DR: Hemodynamic events are independently associated with adverse outcomes after orthotopic liver transplantation and are temporally associated with donor graft reperfusion.

Guidelines for liver transplantation for patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis

TL;DR: This guideline for the management of NASH before and after liver transplantation is approved by the British Society of Gastroenterology, the British Association for the Study of Liver and NHS Blood and Transplant.
