Noninvasive Methods to Monitor Graft Survival in Heart Transplant Patients
Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Summary
Injury of transplant tissue by a transplant recipient's immune system continues to be the leading cause of graft rejection and recipient death. The purpose of this study is to identify a single test or a combination of noninvasive tests currently used for heart transplant monitoring that correlate to long-term graft survival.
