“…Background Kidney transplantation provides significant long-term survival benefit when compared to chronic renal replacement therapy (RRT) (1). While cardiovascular events remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality in kidney transplant recipients, identifying myocardial ischaemia in asymptomatic individuals and initiating treatment remains a contentious issue (2,3).…”

“…Compared to dialysis, KTx improves both survival and quality of the life of the patients. In patients following successful KTx, leading causes of death are cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) (1). Theoretically, early detection of CVD-related alterations in myocardial mechanics could help in the selection of high-risk patients.…”

Background: Kidney transplantation (KTx) is the preferred treatment for virtually all suitable candidates with end-stage renal disease. There is limited information on left ventricular (LV) rotational mechanics post-KTx, therefore the present study aimed to assess it and to compare it to that of age-and gendermatched healthy controls. Methods: The present study comprised 42 KTx patients, from which 4 patients were excluded due to insufficient image quality (mean age: 46.3±8.2 years, 29 males). Control group consisted of 81 age-and gender-matched healthy individuals (mean age: 43.5±10.8 years, 51 males). All KTx patients and healthy controls successfully underwent transthoracic two-dimensional (2D) Doppler echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography (3DSTE). Results: Significant differences could be demonstrated in LA diameter, LV end-diastolic diameter and volume, interventricular septum, LV posterior wall thickness, LV ejection fraction and early and late filling transmitral flow velocities and in their ratio between KTx patients and controls; none of the subjects examined showed grade 2-4 mitral and/or tricuspid regurgitations. Three patients following successful KTx showed near absence of LV twist called as LV 'rigid body rotation' (RBR) movement. When the remaining 35 post-KTx patients were analysed separately, reduced basal LV rotation could be demonstrated in post-KTx patients with tendentious increase in apical LV rotation resulting in an unchanged LV twist. Conclusions: KTx is associated with alterations in LV rotational mechanics with unchanged LV twist suggesting a remodelling of this sort of movement. The near absence of LV twist (LV-RBR) could be demonstrated in some post-KTx cases.

Kidney transplant is known to be the first choice therapy for end stage chronic kidney disease, also for its positive effects on kidney transplant recipients cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Several evidences evaluated the morphological changes of the left ventricle before and after transplantation, demonstrating a positive effect of at least partial regression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in kidney transplant recipients.
