The aim of this multicenter prospective interventional pilot study is to describe the evolution of myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients before and after liver transplantation (LT). Through multimodal analysis of myocardial function and architecture, and analysis of specific markers of inflammation, we aim to explore the following hypotheses: 1) systemic inflammation promotes myocardial fibrosis in cirrhotic patients and could be an early marker of cirrhotic cardiomyopathy; 2) LT allows resolution of myocardial fibrosis by preventing the bacterial translocation that favors the development of deleterious systemic inflammation.
