Left ventricular longitudinal function is reduced but partially compensated by increased radial function after heart transplantation
Heart-transplanted patients have decreased left ventricular longitudinal function compared to healthy controls, in part compensated by an augmented lateral function. Longitudinal function is not associated with cardiac output at rest or exercise capacity in this patient group. Whether the altered pumping mechanics seen are associated with outcome remains to be investigated.
