Popis: Background. New-onset systolic heart failure (HF) after liver transplantation (LT) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality; however, its characteristics are still insufficiently delineated. HF may involve the left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV), or both ventricles. We explored the incidence, characteristics, etiologies, risks, involved cardiac chambers, and outcomes of HF after LT. Methods. This study included 528 adult patients with preoperative LV ejection fraction ≥ 55% who underwent LT between 2016 and 2020. The primary outcome was new-onset systolic HF, defined by the presence of clinical signs, symptoms, and echocardiographic evidence of reduced LVejection fraction
