Later MELD score has been used in cardiovascular conditions like patients undergoing left ventricular assist device placement to operative transfusion requirements, morbidity, and mortality. An important limitation for using MELD score in cardiovascular conditions is that the INR value does not indicate liver function in those receiving warfarin.
