Muscle fiber disarray in patients without hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

abstract：BACKGROUND:End-stage renal disease is associated with cardiac remodeling, which is partly reversible after kidney transplantation (KT). We aimed to determine the association of cardiovascular comorbidities or kidney-related factors with cardiac reverse remodeling after KT. METHODS:We performed echocardiography in 56 p...
