| The number of patients whose LVEF increased by more than 10% | 18 (36) | 9 (36) | >0.9999 | |
| Numerical data are summarized as mean±standard deviation along with median (minimum–maximum), whereas frequency and percentage, n (%), were used for categorical data. values were obtained by Mann-Whitney U test (a), chi-square test (b), Mann-Whitney U test (c). Group HC, healthy control group; Group LDT, living donor transplantation group; Group CDT, cadaver transplantation group. LVEF – left ventricle ejection fraction; LVED-D – left ventricle end-diastolic diameter; LVES-D – left ventricle end-systolic diameter; NT-proBNP – N-terminus pro-B-type natriuretic peptide. | ||||
