Journal of Cardiac Failure Aug 25, 2017
Agdamag ACC, et al. – The association between pre–transplant ejection fraction (EF) and mortality among kidney transplant patients, was investigated. In this study, the relationship between EF and mortality among kidney transplantation (KT) patients follow a U-shaped curve where patients with both low EF and hyperdynamic EF had worse survival compared to those with normal EF. These findings suggested not to consider a hyperdynamic EF as a Ânormal EF in pre–KT evaluations, it appeared to be poor prognostication marker.
