Cardiac Transplant Metabolomics With and Without Rejection
Sponsor: Western University, Canada
Summary
Patient who received a heart transplant may develop organ rejection. Currently, an invasive biopsy of the heart needs to be performed to diagnose rejection. The purpose of this research study is to identify novel metabolic biomarkers that can be developed into a blood test that can identify signs of rejection without doing a heart biopsy.
