Study Summary

Patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT) have a high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Frailty is a frequent condition among LT candidates. Together, CVD and frailty are major causes of morbidity and mortality before and after LT. Conventional methods to diagnose and predict CVD in LT candidates lack sensitivity and clinically relevant application. However, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can directly estimate coronary artery disease, cirrhotic cardiomyopathy, and indirectly assess frailty. Such versatility of CPET has caused it to become the standard of care in many LT centers outside of the United States. In preliminary work (funded internally by the Pittsburgh Liver Research Center) that will be used to fund a more definitive study (RO1), the investigators plan to investigate CVD and frailty in LT candidates, both from existing standard of care (SOC) methods and CPET. The investigators expect results to improve the current capacity to assess and prognosticate CVD and frailty in LT, ultimately changing practice.
