Right ventricular dysfunction in neurologically deceased organ donors: An observational study in a tertiary-care organ donor referral centre

ConclusionWe observed a high frequency of RV dysfunction in a sample of potential heart donors. However, the temporal evolution of RV dysfunction, the hemodynamic predictors of RV dysfunction, as well the link between donor RV dysfunction and recipient outcomes need to be assessed with further prospective studies.
