Both a prolonged QT interval and disturbance of auto-such as the congenital long QT syndrome, coronary arnomic nervous system function are markers of poor tery disease, and diabetic autonomic neuropathy. In prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus and alcopatients with alcohol-related liver dis
It has been suggested that hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may have worse outcomes after liver transplantation (LT) because of more aggressive tumor biology. In this study, we determined the post-LT survival of HCC patients with and without HCV using United Netwo
