UNASSIGNED: @entity1 undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation have high rates of cardiac morbidity and mortality. Although guidelines recommend noninvasive stress testing as part of the preoperative evaluation, little data have evaluated clinical outcomes following orthotopic liver transplantation. A retrospective study at 2 high-volume liver transplantation centers was performed. All @entity1 undergoing noninvasive stress testing (myocardial perfusion imaging [MPI] or @entity452 stress echocardiography [DSE]) over a 5-year period were included. Descriptive analyses, including clinical outcomes and perioperative and postoperative @entity63 events, were performed. Comparisons were made between subsets of @entity1 within each stress modality based on abnormal versus normal results. A total of 506 @entity1 were included, of which 343 underwent DSE and 163 MPI. Few @entity1 had abnormal results, with 19 (5.5%) in the DSE group and 13 (8%) in the MPI group. Perioperative and @entity260 were low (n  = 20, 5.8% and n  = 3, 0.9% in DSE group and n  = 15, 9.2% and n  = 3, 1.8% in MPI group). Comparisons between abnormal versus normal findings showed a trend toward periprocedural @entity299 in the abnormal DSE group (n  = 3, 15.8% vs n  = 17, 5.25%; p  = 0.09) with no difference in 6-month postprocedural complications (n  = 0 vs n  = 3, 0.9%; p  = 1.0). In the MPI group, a trend toward periprocedural @entity63 complications (n  = 3, 23.1% vs n  = 12, 8%; p  = 0.1) was noted with no difference in 6-month postprocedural complications (n  = 0 vs n  = 3, 2%; p  = 1.0). In conclusion, our study found a significantly lower than reported cardiac event rate. In addition, it demonstrated that @entity63 @entity299 are uncommon in @entity1 with normal stress testing.
