Description
Heart doctors in Brazil tested a scan method that may spot early rejection after a heart transplant. The method is T1 mapping, a form of heart MRI that times how tissue recovers after a pulse. Rejection is now checked with a biopsy, a small tissue sample taken through a vein, which is taxing for patients. The team asked if the scan could match the biopsy in the first 60 days after surgery, when wound healing can cloud the read.
The study enrolled 45 adults soon after transplant, and each had both the scan and a biopsy. Fourteen of them, about 31 percent, had the stronger form of rejection. Scan values and most traits were close between the two groups at base. The paper weighs how well the scan split the groups, in a phase of care where few data exist so far.
