| Abstract |
:
The age range of patients accepted for the orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) has widened. Concerns have arisen, therefore, about the ability of the hearts of elderly patients to manage these stressful conditions. The aim of this study was to investigate the preoperative echocardiographic findings and the intraoperative cardiac dysfunction among elderly cirrhotic recipients undergoing live donor OLT. |
