Abstract
This study examines takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTS) following liver transplantation (LT). Out of 739 LT patients from 2018 to 2024, 76 developed cardiac dysfunction, with 6 cases of TTS, all male. TTS incidence post-LT was 0.8%, with alcoholic cirrhosis as the main diagnosis. TTS occurred a median of 2 days post-LT, highlighting early complications. High catecholamine levels were noted in 1 case. The study stresses the need for differential diagnosis of TTS in post-LT cardiac dysfunction, especially in alcohol abuse patients, with aggressive treatment including IABP, volume management, and anticoagulation. Echocardiographic assessment post-LT is crucial for TTS detection and management.
期刊介绍:
Transplantation Proceedings publishes several different categories of manuscripts, all of which undergo extensive peer review by recognized authorities in the field prior to their acceptance for publication.
The first type of manuscripts consists of sets of papers providing an in-depth expression of the current state of the art in various rapidly developing components of world transplantation biology and medicine. These manuscripts emanate from congresses of the affiliated transplantation societies, from Symposia sponsored by the Societies, as well as special Conferences and Workshops covering related topics.
Transplantation Proceedings also publishes several special sections including publication of Clinical Transplantation Proceedings, being rapid original contributions of preclinical and clinical experiences. These manuscripts undergo review by members of the Editorial Board.
Original basic or clinical science articles, clinical trials and case studies can be submitted to the journal?s open access companion title Transplantation Reports.
