212 Effect of QT Interval Prolongation on Ventricular Arrhythmias and Cardiac Arrest following Liver Transplantation and Derivation of a Points-Based Risk Index

Patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) have a four-fold higher risk of periprocedural cardiac arrest and ventricular arrhythmias (CA/VA) compared with other noncardiac surgeries. We sought to assess whether prolonged corrected QT interval (QTc) is associated with an increased risk of CA/VA following LT.
