In this study, pre-LTX and six-months post-LTX measurements will be compared with each other and between the primary and control group.
Pre- and post-LTX measurements include:
Past medical history: Including basic diagnosis; interventions, surgery and transplant related complications (re-operations, hospitalizations, infections) and medication history; These data will be collected by studying the medical files including surgical reports.
Present medical history: Including NYHA class.
Physical examination: Including length and weight.
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging:
* Ventricular volume, function and mass measurements
* Flow measurements of the pulmonary artery and aorta
* Disease specific measurements (e.g. septal bowing, RV trabecularisation, etc.)
* T1-mapping
Transthoracic Echocardiography
Resting ECG: Disease specific electrophysiological findings (e.g. QRS-duration, right bundle branch block).
Laboratory evaluation:
* NT-pro-BNP
* eGFR
* Remaining serum will be stored.
