NCT ID NCT03217786
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests better ways to detect early artery narrowing in new hearts after transplant, a condition called cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV). About 80 adult heart transplant patients will be followed within their first three months to compare advanced imaging and blood tests against standard methods. The goal is to catch CAV earlier so doctors can treat it before it causes heart failure or death.
