First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looked at 69 heart transplant patients to see if a special body composition scan (bioelectrical impedance spectroscopy) could help predict complications like organ rejection, kidney injury, or long hospital stays. Researchers compared the scan results with older methods like BMI and blood tests. The goal was to better understand how nutrition and body changes after transplant affect recovery.
