Prognostic value of exercise myocardial deformation and haemodynamics in long ‐term heart‐transplanted patients
ConclusionsResting haemodynamic parameters were poor MACE predictors in long ‐term HTx patients. In contrast, peak exercise mPCWP, mRAP, and CI were significant MACE predictors. LVGLS both at rest and during exercise were significant MACE predictors, and the combined model with peak exercise LVGLS and peak exercise mPCWP, mRAP, and CI clearly identified high‐risk HTx pat ients in relation cardiovascular endpoints independently of time since HTx.
