Cardiac magnetic resonance assessment of acute rejection and cardiac allograft vasculopathy in pediatric heart transplant.

Thomas P. Graham Jr. Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
Background: In pediatric heart transplant (PHT), cardiac catheterization with endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is standard for diagnosing acute rejection (AR) and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) but is costly and invasive.
Objectives: To evaluate the ability of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to noninvasively identify differences in PHT patients with AR and CAV.
Methods: Patients were enrolled at three children's hospitals.
Cardiac magnetic resonance diastolic indices correlate with ventricular filling pressures in pediatric heart transplant recipients.

Thomas P. Graham Jr. Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Background: Atrial and ventricular filling pressures are routinely used in pediatric heart transplant (PHTx) recipients to assess graft function. We hypothesized that cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) diastolic indices correlate with filling pressures, providing a noninvasive method of hemodynamic assessment.
Methods: Pediatric heart transplant recipients were prospectively enrolled at the time of cardiac catheterization.
