Description
William Park and a team of co-authors tested whether heart strain measures sharpen risk forecasts after liver transplant, in this 2026 study. Heart events lead the causes of death in these patients, and old risk scores miss hidden heart weakness. The team studied 309 recipients with pre-surgery heart scans and tracked major heart events over a median of about four and a half years.
Events struck about twenty-one percent. Three machine learning methods were trained with and without the strain measures and set against two standard scores. The forest method scored best, yet adding strain barely moved its aim, and no model beat the standard scores or plain regression. The authors report strain's added worth as small in this group.
