Article Synopsis
- High survival rates in heart transplantation (HTx) are linked to effective screening for complications and cellular rejection.
- A study analyzed 19 HTx patients (2015-2016), evaluating 170 biopsies and corresponding echocardiograms to understand the relationship between global longitudinal strain (GLS) and rejection levels.
- Results showed that while left ventricular (LV) function remained stable, moderate rejection (2R) was associated with significant reductions in right ventricular (RV) function and strain, suggesting echocardiographic assessments could aid in identifying cellular rejection.
