May link inflammation to early post-transplant hemodynamic impairment without rejection; leaves open causal role and therapeutic targeting.
Are inflammatory and immunocompetence markers associated with hemodynamic allograft function early after cardiac transplantation?
Early after cardiac transplantation, elevated inflammatory markers and lower immunocompetence markers are associated with impaired allograft function in the absence of cellular rejection.
Deng et al. (1998) studied this question.
