Defining Mechanisms for Cardiac Allograft Dysfunction to Improve Allograft Longevity and Survival in Heart-Transplant Patients


Sponsor

Paul Kim

Enrollment

376 participants

Start Date

Oct 1, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The investigators will evaluate for early evidence of cardiac allograft dysfunction by cardiac MRI and single cell sequencing to determine underlying molecular and macroscopic causes.
