Abstract:
Kidney transplantation is the first choice for treating uremia.Traditional cardiovascular risk factors,renal insufficiency related changes and immunosuppressive medications increase the risk of left ventricular insufficiency after kidney transplantation.Early identification and timely intervention of left ventricular dysfunction after kidney transplantation are helpful to improve life quality and survival time of the transplant recipients.The application progresses of various echocardiographic techniques in monitoring structural and functional changes of left ventricle after kidney transplantation were reviewed in this article.
