Population
Patients with transplanted hearts at risk for or developing cardiac allograft vasculopathy

Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a complex disease driven by both immunologic and non-immunologic factors, highlighting the need for comprehensive risk factor management and advanced immunosuppressive therapies in heart transplant recipients.
