The retrospective study analysed 57 patients with adequate imaging from 95 consecutive recipients. Right-ventricular strain provided modest discrimination; no echocardiographic parameter was an independent multivariable predictor.
How to interpret this: Small selected imaging cohort. It does not supply a universal threshold, personal surgical rate or validated prediction for an individual patient.
