RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION IMPROVES IN RESPONSE TO INCREASED HEMODYNAMIC STRESS IN PATIENTS WITH END-STAGE LIVER DISEASE REFERRED FOR LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

Background Adequate right ventricular (RV) function is critically important during liver transplantation (LT) particularly during reperfusion of the grafted donor liver which is often accompanied by elevation of pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and reduced cardiac function.
