Dissociation between hypertrophy and fibrosis in the left ventricle early after experimental kidney transplantation
Conclusion:
LVMI reversed and MAP and renal function were normalized early after transplantation of a healthy kidney. However, LV fibrosis persisted, dissociating LV hypertrophy from LV fibrosis within 6 weeks. Elucidating cardiac ECM dynamics in CKD patients, although challenging, appears promising.
