Unlike in kidney and liver transplantation, there are no clinically validated biomarkers for detecting heart transplant rejection. Existing methods for monitoring the cardiac allograft are invasive.
To our knowledge, this is the first dedicated study to examine the relationships between cardiac MRI measures of cardiac health and donor and recipient characteristics following HTx, including sex, age, height, weight, BMI, and HTN.
19 Δεκ 2019 · Pearson correlation analyses were performed between continuous characteristic variables (age, height, weight, BMI, and cold ischemia time during transplantation) and cardiac MRI measures (LV mass, stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction, T2, T1, ECV, myocardial velocities, and twist).
2 Σεπ 2020 · Cardiac imaging, particularly parametric mapping by cardiac MRI and global longitudinal strain by echocardiography, has improved our understanding of cardiac allograft rejection and prediction of adverse clinical outcomes.
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.
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.
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.
