Myocardial T2 determined using a black-blood MRI sequence, is sufficiently sensitive to identify most of the moderate acute rejections documented with biopsy at the same time, but is also a predictor of the subsequent occurrence of such biopsy-defined rejections.
HD, PD, and RT can be useful for the treatment of ESRF after heart transplantation. After initiating HD, patient survival is nearly the same as that reported in patients in Europe undergoing HD for other causes. But ESRF seems to reduce life expectancy in heart-transplant recipients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
