Figure 1. Protocol to assess preoperatory cardiological risk in patients underwent liver transplantation. The number of patients allocated to single tests has been reported in brackets. CAD: coronary artery disease; CAG: coronary angiography; CCTA: coronary computed tomography angiography; CV-RF: cardiovascular risk factors; DM: diabetes mellitus; ECG: electrocardiogram; LT: liver transplantation; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; SE: stress echocardiography.

Table 1. Characteristics of the overall population.
Table 2. Indications to coronary angiography according to the non-invasive tests.
Table 3. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value relative to non-invasive tests in patients who underwent liver transplantation.
Figure 2. Kaplan–Meier’s curves relative to event-free survival in patients underwent liver transplantation. Patients were divided among the four CAG-related groups as follows: NO CAG: patients not subjected to coronary angiographies; CAG – NEG: negative coronary angiographies; CAG – NCC: non-critical coronaropathy; CAG – PCI: critical coronaropathy requiring revascularization. Censored patients are detailed by markings on the respective curves.
