Cardiovascular magnetic resonance left ventricular strain in end-stage renal disease patients after kidney transplantation

Abstract Background Cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and kidney transplant (KT) patients. Compared with left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF), LV strain has emerged as an important marker of LV function...
