Temporal Change in Longitudinal Strain After Domino Liver Transplantation With Liver Grafts Explanted From Patients With Hereditary Amyloidogenic Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Abstract:Background:
Using transthoracic echocardiography, including 2D speckle tracking imaging (STI), this study examined cardiac function after domino liver transplantation (DLT) with liver grafts explanted from patients with hereditary amyloidogenic transthyretin amyloidosis.
Methods and Results:
In all, 14 patients who underwent DLT at Kumamoto University Hospital and for whom 2D STI information was available were enrolled in the study; time-dependent echocardiographic chan… Show more
