Key Points

To assess whether intracoronary physiology evaluations performed early after heart transplantation can predict long-term clinical outcomes.
Assessed coronary physiology in heart transplant recipients at 1 year following transplantation.
Tracked patient outcomes over a 10-year follow-up period to evaluate rates of death or re-transplantation.
Abnormal coronary physiology was frequently observed at 1 year post-transplantation.
Early abnormal coronary physiology served as a significant predictor of the composite outcome of death or re-transplantation at 10 years.

Implication

Reveals abnormal coronary physiology one year after heart transplantation significantly predicts death or re-transplantation at ten years, indicating its early prognostic utility.

Abstract

Abnormal coronary physiology 1 year after heart transplantation was common and was a significant predictor of death or re-transplantation at 10 years.
