Improvement in Echocardiographic Indexes of Systolic Heart Failure Post-Kidney Transplantation: A Retrospective Analysis.
Introduction: End-stage renal disease is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which can be partially eliminated by kidney transplantation. Systolic heart failure might be considered contraindication for kidney transplant, although some patients demonstrate myocardial recovery post-transplant. We aimed to identify and characterize the phenomenon of reverse myocardial remodeling in kidney transplanted patients.
Methods: The study is a retrospective cohort of patients undergoing kidney transplants between 2016 and 2019 (n = 604) at Rabin Medical Center. Patients were assessed according to availability of two echocardiographic examinations: pre- and post-kidney transplant. The change in estimated ejection fraction (EF) and possible predictors of myocardial recovery were examined.
Results: Data of 293 patients was available for the final analysis. Eighty-one (28%) patients had a LVEF improvement equal to or above 5%, whereas 36 (12%) patients had a LVEF improvement of 10% or more post-transplantation. Twenty-five patients (8.5%) had moderate or severe systolic heart failure with LVEF reduced to 40% or less at baseline. 13 of them (52%) had a LVEF improvement of ≥5%, and 10 patients (40%) had an improvement of ≥10% in their EF. Cox regression analyses identified female gender as the only independent variable associated with LVEF improvement of at least 10%.
Conclusion: Renal transplantation might lead to improved LV systolic function in some patients.
期刊介绍:
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
