Despite significant advances, rejection and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remain impediments to long-term survival. Early detection is paramount to treatment of both rejection and CAV. Therefore, heart transplant (HT) patients are routinely monitored for signs of graft dysfunction.
To use structure-function cardiac MRI in the evaluation of relationships between donor and heart transplantation (HTx) recipient characteristics and changes in cardiac tissue structure and function.
8 Φεβ 2019 · Orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) is the treatment of choice for end-stage heart disease. As OHT use continues and postoperative survival increases, multimodality imaging evaluation of the transplanted heart will continue to increase.
27 Αυγ 2018 · The diagnosis of acute rejection in cardiac transplant recipients requires invasive technique with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) which has risks and limitations. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) with T2 and T1 mapping is a promising technique for characterizing myocardial tissue.
Here, we present our systematic approach to donor evaluation by examining the impact that relevant donor variables have on graft function and recipient outcomes. Keywords: Heart transplantation, Donor evaluation, Ischemic time, Size-matching.
The proposed donor heart selection guidelines provide evidence-based and expert-consensus recom-mendations for the selection of donor hearts following brain death. These recommendations were com-piled by an international panel of experts based on an extensive literature review. J Heart Lung Transplant 2023;42:7−29
27 Μαΐ 2022 · Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)–based myocardial tissue characterization allows detection of myocarditis. The feasibility of CMR-based surveillance for ACAR-induced myocarditis in the first year after heart transplantation is currently undescribed.
