Cardiovascular diseases(CVD)form a principal consideration in patients with end-stage liver disease(ESLD)undergoing evaluation for liver transplant(LT)with prognostic implications in the peri-and post-transplant *** the predominant etiology of ESLD continues to evolve,addressing CVD in these patients has become increasingly ***,as the number of LTs increase by the year,the proportion of older adults on the waiting list with competing comorbidities increase,and the demographics of LT candidates evolve with parallel increases in their CVD risk *** primary goal of cardiac risk assessment is to preemptively reduce the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality that may arise from hemodynamic stress in the peri-and post-transplant *** complex hemodynamics shared by ESLD patients in the pre-transplant period with adverse cardiovascular events occurring in only some of these recipients continue to challenge currently available guidelines and their uniform *** review focusses on cardiac assessment of LT candidates in a stepwise manner with special emphasis on preoperative patient *** hope that this will reinforce the importance of cardiovascular optimization prior to LT,prevent futile LT in those with advanced CVD beyond the stage of optimization,and thereby use the finite resources prudently.

Coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)is a disease produced by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)and it is currently causing a catastrophic pandemic affecting humans *** disease has been lethal for approximately 3.12 million people around the world since January ***,among the most affected countries,Mexico ranks third in deaths after the United States of America and *** the high number of deceased people might also be explained by social aspects and lifestyle customs in Mexico,there is a relationship between this high proportion of deaths and comorbidities such as high blood pressure(HBP),type 2 diabetes,obesity,and metabolic *** official epidemiological figures reported by the Mexican government have indicated that 18.4%of the population suffers from HBP,close to 10.3%of adults suffer from type 2 diabetes,and approximately 36.1%of the population suffers from *** in the gut microbiota(GM)have been associated with these diseases and with COVID-19 severity,presumably due to inflammatory *** data about the association between GM dysbiosis and metabolic diseases could suggest that the high levels of susceptibility to SARSCoV-2 infection and COVID-19 morbidity in the Mexican population are primarily due to the prevalence of type 2 diabetes,obesity,and metabolic syndrome.
