Summary

This study aims to find blood or urine tests that can spot early signs of heart transplant rejection. Researchers will analyze genes and proteins from 188 participants, including people waiting for a heart transplant, those who have already received one, and healthy volunteers. The goal is to detect rejection sooner and improve treatment, without directly testing a new therapy.
