Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amro T Badr"
- Amro T Badr's recent research focuses on cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), emphasizing its role as a significant cause of post-transplant mortality beyond the first year after heart transplantation.
- The study discusses the pathophysiology of CAV, noting that it involves progressive thickness in both epicardial and intramyocardial coronary arteries, which remains partly understood.
- Badr highlights the effectiveness of coronary angiography as the gold-standard diagnostic method for CAV, while also advocating for the use of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) to enhance the detection of early intimal thickening.
