Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance for Rejection Surveillance After Cardiac Transplantation

Learn about the potential of cardiac MRI as a non-invasive alternative to traditional endomyocardial biopsy for monitoring heart transplant rejection in this 37-minute Yale Cardiovascular Medicine Grand Rounds presentation. Explore the comparative effectiveness of CMR techniques, biopsy procedures, and their impact on tricuspid regurgitation. Examine key findings from randomized trials, including infection rates, hospitalization data, and functional CMR reliability. Delve into cost analysis, limitations, and future research directions while understanding imaging protocols, threshold values, and survival mortality rates. Discover how CMR screening compares to traditional biopsies in rejection assessment and gain insights into the latest developments in transplant surveillance methodology.
