Blood test could replace risky biopsies for heart transplant patients

NCT ID NCT02672683

Summary

This study tested a new blood test to detect rejection in heart transplant patients. It aimed to see if measuring four specific molecules in the blood could accurately identify rejection, potentially replacing the need for frequent, invasive heart biopsies. The study involved 461 patients across multiple hospitals to confirm the test's reliability.
