(Wolters Kluwer, 2022-11)
      [Abstract] Background: The INTERHEART study (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT02670408) used genome-wide microarrays to detect rejection in endomyocardial biopsies; however, many heart transplants with no rejection have late dysfunction ...
    • Heart transplantation: focus on donor recovery strategies, left ventricular assist devices, and novel therapies 

      Crespo-Leiro, María Generosa; Costanzo, María Rosa; Gustafsson, Finn; Khush, Kiran K.; Macdonald, Peter S.; Potena, Luciano; Stehlik, Josef; Zuckermann, Andreas; Mehra, Mandeep R. (Oxford Academic, 2022-06-14)
      [Abstract] Heart transplantation is advocated in selected patients with advanced heart failure in the absence of contraindications. Principal challenges in heart transplantation centre around an insufficient and underutilized ...
    • Many heart transplant biopsies currently diagnosed as no rejection have mild molecular antibody-mediated rejection-related changes

      [Abstract] Background: The Molecular Microscope (MMDx) system classifies heart transplant endomyocardial biopsies as No-rejection (NR), Early-injury, T cell-mediated (TCMR), antibody-mediated (ABMR), mixed, and possible ...
