Implication

Longitudinal analysis shows changes in myocardial tissue parameters in heart transplant patients, highlighting potential consequences of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.

Key Points

  • Significant increases in native T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) were observed, suggesting tissue alterations over time.
  • Decrease in T2 was noted, indicating changes in myocardial function among heart transplant recipients.
  • A total of sixty-eight patients were monitored using cardiac MRI to track changes in myocardial parameters.
  • These findings point to increased collagen deposition possibly related to subclinical myocardial ischemia.
