Does digitised M mode echocardiography predict acute rejection in heart transplant recipients?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Digitised M-mode echocardiography should not guide rejection surveillance in heart transplant recipients; leaves open whether other noninvasive parameters warrant prospective testing.
Mannaerts et al. (1992) conducted a cohort in Heart transplant recipients (n=30). Digitised M mode echocardiography vs. Endomyocardial biopsy was evaluated on Prediction of acute rejection assessed by endomyocardial biopsy. Digitised left ventricular M mode echocardiography did not predict the presence of acute rejection in heart transplant recipients.
