Diastolic dysfunction is regarded as an important predictor of outcome after liver transplantation (LT). We investigated the influence of liver disease severity on left ventricular diastolic properties using end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship (EDPVR) analysis in patients with end-stage liver disease (ESLD). Association between alterations of the EDPVR and mortality after LT was evaluated. In this observational retrospective cohort study, 3,211 patients who underwent LT for ESLD were included in analysis. Variables derived from single-beat EDPVR (diastolic stiffness-coefficient [β] and end-diastolic volume at an end-diastolic pressure of 20 mmHg [EDVI20] indicating ventricular capacitance) were estimated using preoperative echocardiographic data. Alterations in EDPVR with increased stiffness (β > 6.16) were categorized into 3 groups; leftward-shifted (EDVI20 <51 mL/m2), rightward-shifted (EDVI20 > 69.7 mL/m2), and intermediate (EDVI20 51-69.7 mL/m2). As the model for ESLD score increases, both EDVI20 and β gradually increased, which indicated ventricular remodeling with larger capacitance and higher diastolic stiffness. Among patients with increased stiffness (β > 6.16, n=1,090), survival rates after LT were lower in leftward-shifted EDPVR than in rightward-shifted EDPVR (73.7% vs 82.9%; log-rank P=0.002). In the adjusted Cox proportional hazard model, risk of cumulative all-cause mortality at 11 years was the highest in leftward-shifted EDPVR (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.93; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27-2.92), followed by intermediate EDPVR (HR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.12-2.26), compared with rightward-shifted EDPVR. The SHapley Additive exPlanation model revealed that the variables associated with leftward-shifted EDPVR were diabetes, female sex, old age, and hypertension. As ESLD advances, diastolic ventricular properties are characterized by increased EDVI20 and β on rightward-shifted EDPVR, indicating larger capacitance and higher stiffness. However, leftward-shifted EDPVR with left ventricle remodeling failure is associated with poor post-LT survival.
