Key Words Echocardiographic abnormalities; Kidney transplant; Predictors; Graft function
Core Tip Despite clearance by a cardiologist, kidney transplant recipients have structural and functional abnormalities. These abnormalities may partially resolve after transplantation, but not wholly. Abnormalities such as left ventricular hypertrophy, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, diastolic dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension may have an impact on graft and patient survival. Understanding their predictors may help alleviate these abnormalities and improve patient and graft survival. This will enable clinicians to devise a pathway to reduce cardiovascular events, improve long-term graft function, and decrease mortality.
