dysfunction, however this ratio was not associated with LV recovery. Multiple echocardiographic measures were associated with recovery, including initial LVEF, LV GLS and SLS. However, strain does not appear to provide added predictive value for recovery when accounting for initial LVEF. Additional work, combining imaging and clinical data, is needed to better predict donor LV recovery and thus expand the cardiac donor pool.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
