•The study population for all study arms will be drawn from the Victorian Liver Transplant Unit at Austin Health, the state-wide service and adult liver transplant centre for Victoria and Tasmania. We will aim to prospectively recruit all adult patients (>18 years) who are waitlisted for transplantation and/or undergo pre-operative dobutamine stress echocardiography as part of their cardiac assessment as per usual unit protocols.

•During dobutamine stress echocardiography, patients who develop chest pain, significant ST segment changes or regional wall motion abnormalities during stress will be excluded.
•Patients with overt heart failure, significant valvular disease, pulmonary hypertension, amyloidosis, haemochromatosis and those on renal replacement therapy will also be excluded.
•Finally, patients will be excluded if an adequate retinal examination is not possible due to cataracts or narrow-angle glaucoma.
