ABSTRACT Background Transplant centers exclude patients from the waiting list with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). It is unclear whether renal transplantation (RT) is safe, will have different impacts on patients with ischemic/nonischemic reduced LVEF, and whether myocardial revas...
