Figure 2 Survival of Recipients of Donor Hearts With LVH by Echo, Both Echo and ECG, or by Donor History of HTN
(A) Survival of recipients of donor hearts with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as determined by echocardiography (echo) alone did not differ from those determined by both echo and electrocardiogram (ECG). (B) For approximately the first 2.5 years post-transplant, almost identical survival was observed among recipients of donor LVH with and without donor history of hypertension (HTN); however, those with donor history of HTN have a trend for worse survival thereafter. Summary tables (insets) provide survival estimates (±SE) at 30 days, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively.
