“…This myocardial dysfunction may be present in donor hearts before transplantation. 21 Paul et al found diastolic dysfunction as evidenced by mitral e/a reversal on echocardiogram in 45% of potential pediatric heart donors. 22 Diastolic dysfunction has also been shown to persist late after transplantation.…”

“…On patients that are separated from mechanical support, traditional echocardiography and oxygen transfer markers are used. In recent years, myocardial tissue Doppler, with its precision to indicate ventricular improvement, is used in evaluating myocardial function (Cheung & Redington, 2004). Patients with myocarditis can be separated after 2 weeks of mechanical support.…”
