Why the study?
What are the clinical and hemodynamic determinants of elevated left ventricular filling pressure in heart-transplanted patients during exercise?
What are the clinical and hemodynamic determinants of elevated left ventricular filling pressure in heart-transplanted patients during exercise?
Elevated left ventricular filling pressure is common in heart transplant recipients and correlates with impaired myocardial deformation, higher rejection burden, and cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant closer post-transplant surveillance; hypothesis-generating for links to rejection and vasculopathy.
Clemmensen et al. (2015) studied this question.
