Identification and Characterization of Trajectories of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy After Heart Transplantation

Abstract

In a large multicenter and highly phenotyped prospective cohort of heart transplant recipients, we identified 4 CAV trajectories and their respective independent predictive variables. Our results provide the basis for a trajectory-based assessment of patients undergoing heart transplantation for early risk stratification, patient monitoring, and clinical trials.
