1Saint Luke's, Kansas City, MO, 2CareDx, Brisbane, CA, 3University of Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA
*Purpose: Elevations in donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) ≥0.20 % in heart transplant recipients (HTR) has been shown to be associated with a probability of acute…2017 American Transplant Congress
Antibody Mediated Rejection and Donor Specific Antibodies in Heart Transplant Patients: Single Center Experience.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Preexisting donor specific antibodies (DSA) cause acute antibody mediated rejection (AMR), which can be avoided during pre-transplant work up. Diagnosis and management…2016 American Transplant Congress
Development and Validation of a Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System (MMDx) for Heart Transplant Biopsies.
The diagnosis of heart transplant rejection by histology in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) is challenging. A molecular system (MMDx) has been developed to assess both T…2016 American Transplant Congress
Assessment of Molecular Mechanisms of Non-Transplant Cardiac Hypertrophy in Cardiac Allograft Hypertrophy – An Exploratory Gene Array Study of Myocardial Biopsy Samples.
Cardiac Allograft Hypertrophy (CAH) develops in up to 80% of patients as early as six months post-transplant, and is associated with decreased quality of life…2015 American Transplant Congress
Inverse Monocytic Subset Profile in Blood and Tissue During Heart Transplant Rejection
Introduction: Increased monocytic infiltration of heart transplant tissue is documented during acute rejection. It is still unclear how changes in circulating monocyte pool relate to…
