Patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension undergoing lung transplant are at risk of developing left ventricular dysfunction (LVD). We present a case of severe LVD following transplant to highlight the challenges in diagnosis and suggest measures to reduce the risk of cardiogenic shock and end-organ injury.
