Liver Transplantation Does Not Prevent the Development of Life-Threatening Arrhythmia in Familial Amyloidotic Polyneuropathy, Portuguese-Type (ATTR Val30Met) Patients

Abstract

The development of cardiac conduction disturbances and arrhythmias appear not to be halted by liver transplantation, indicating that the physician should be aware of the potential risk for FAP patients receiving transplants to develop fatal arrhythmia. The follow-up after liver transplantation should include Holter-ECG recordings.
