HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION IS COMMON AND DOES NOT PREDICT OUTCOMES IN LIVER TRANSPLANT RECIPIENTS

Right heart catheterizations (RHC) are often performed prior to liver transplantation (LT) to rule out significant portopulmonary hypertension. Many times, elevated left heart filling pressures are found consistent with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF). Pre-transplant HFpEF has
