TCT-858 Long-Term Prognostic Value of Invasive and Non-Invasive Measures Early after Heart Transplantation

Background Invasively assessed coronary microvascular resistance early after heart transplantation (HT) predicts worse long-term outcome; however, little is known about the relationship between microvascular resistance, left ventricular function and outcomes in this setting. Methods A total of 100 c...

Description
Summary:Background Invasively assessed coronary microvascular resistance early after heart transplantation (HT) predicts worse long-term outcome; however, little is known about the relationship between microvascular resistance, left ventricular function and outcomes in this setting. Methods A total of 100 cardiac transplant recipients had fractional flow reserve (FFR) and the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) measured in the left anterior descending artery and echocardiographic assessment including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) at 1 year after HT.
