A total of 105 patients (age 59 ± 13 years, 75% women, 69% breast cancer) developing GLS-CTRCD (>12% relative reduction of GLS without a change in LVEF) were randomized to cardioprotection with neurohormonal antagonists vs. usual care.

Liver transplant (LT) recipients continue to be older and have inherently more comorbidities. Among these, cardiac disease is one of the three main causes of morbidity and mortality after LT. Several reasons exist including the high prevalence of associated risk factors, which can also be attributed to the rise in the proportion of patients undergoing LT for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Additionally, as people age, the prevalence of now treatable cardiac conditions, including coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiomyopathies, significant valvular heart disease, pulmonary hypertension, and arrhythmias rises, making the need to treat these conditions critical to optimize outcomes. There is an emerging body of literature regarding CAD screening in patients with ESLD, however, there is a paucity of strong evidence to support the guidance regarding the management of cardiac conditions in the pre-LT and perioperative settings. This has resulted in significant variations in assessment strategies and clinical management of cardiac disease in LT candidates between transplant centres, which impacts LT candidacy based on a transplant centre's risk tolerance and comfort level for caring for patients with concomitant cardiac disease. Performing a comprehensive assessment and understanding the potential approaches to the management of ESLD patients with cardiac conditions may increase the acceptance of patients, who appear too complex, but rather require extra evaluation and may be reasonable candidates for LT. The unique physiology of ESLD can profoundly influence preoperative assessment, perioperative management, and outcomes associated with underlying cardiac pathology, and requires a thoughtful multidisciplinary approach. The strategies proposed in this manuscript attempt to review the latest expert experience and opinions and provide guidance to practicing clinicians who assess and treat patients being considered for LT. These topics also highlight the gaps that exist in the comprehensive care of LT patients and the need for future investigations in this field.</p>","PeriodicalId":11976,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal","volume":" ","pages":"4399-4413"},"PeriodicalIF":37.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141995593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also discusses the impact of secondary postnatal insults, which may reveal latent cardiovascular deficits that originated in utero.
