New scan could predict heart transplant recovery risks
NCT ID NCT03373279
Summary
This study tested a new body scan method to see if it could better track nutrition and muscle changes in patients after a heart transplant. Researchers followed 69 patients for a year after their surgery, measuring their body composition with the scan at several checkpoints. They compared this new scan data to older methods (like BMI) to see which was better at predicting problems like slow recovery, hospital readmission, or organ rejection.
