Article Synopsis
  • Cardiac fibrosis is a key indicator of poor long-term outcomes in heart transplant patients, and this study examined its clinical determinants and biomarkers using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).
  • Researchers studied 48 heart transplant recipients, focusing on factors like donor-recipient weight mismatch and how it correlates with types of cardiac fibrosis.
  • The findings revealed that weight mismatch is linked to both focal and interstitial fibrosis, with B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) being the only biomarker associated with interstitial fibrosis.
