Zusammenfassung:Cardiovascular events have a major impact on overall outcomes after liver transplantation. Today's transplant patients are older than those in the past and therefore are more likely to have coexisting cardiac comorbidities.

This review discusses important preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative cardiac considerations in patients undergoing liver transplant.
