NCT ID NCT03102125
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at why some transplanted hearts stop working well over time. Researchers will use heart MRI scans and advanced cell analysis to find early signs of trouble in 376 heart transplant patients. The goal is to better understand the causes of graft dysfunction so doctors can improve long-term survival for transplant recipients.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors detect early signs of heart transplant failure and improve how long transplanted hearts last.
