Background: Given the severe shortage of donor liver graft, coupled with growing proportion of cardiovascular death after liver transplantation (LT), precise cardiovascular risk assessment is pivotal for selecting recipient who gains most survival benefit from LT surgery. We aimed to determine prognostic value of pre-LT combined measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitivity troponin I (hsTnI) in predicting early post-LT mortality. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 2,490 consecutive adult LT between 2010 and 2018. Cutoff values of BNP and hsTnI for predicting post-LT 90-day mortality were calculated. According to the derived cutoff values of two cardiac biomarkers, alone and in combination, adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) of post-LT 90-day mortality were determined using multivariate Cox regression analysis. Results: Mortality rate after 90-days was 2.9% (72/2,490). Rounded cutoff values for post-LT 90day mortality were 400 pg/ml for BNP (aHR 2.02 (1.15-3.52), P=0.014) and 60 ng/L for hsTnI [aHR 2.65 (1.48-4.74), P=0.001], respectively. Among 273 patients with BNP ≥400 pg/ml, 50.9% of patients were further stratified into having hsTnI ≥60 ng/L. Combined use of pre-LT cardiac biomarkers predicted post-LT 90-day mortality rate; both non-elevated: 1.0% (21/2,084), either one is elevated: 9.0% (24/267), and both elevated: 19.4% [27/139, log-rank P <0.001; aHR vs nonelevated 4.23 (1.98-9.03), P <0.001]. Conclusions: Concomitant elevation of both cardiac biomarkers posed significantly higher risk of 90-day mortality after LT. Pre-LT assessment cardiac strain and myocardial injury, represented by BNP and hsTnI values, would contribute to prioritization of LT candidates and help administer target therapies that could modify early mortality.
