such as creatinine&#44; natriuretic peptides or echocardiographic variables&#46; The lack of invasive hemodynamic data is a caveat&#44; as all patients referred for transplantation should have an invasive assessment for candidacy&#46; It would be interesting from a pathophysiological standpoint to have an invasive characterization of high-risk patients&#44; particularly to help understand which hemodynamic profiles were present in patients with VE&#47;VCO<span class="elsevierStyleInf">2</span> slopes &#62;39&#46;
