First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 16 times
Summary
This study tested whether a special body composition scan (bioelectrical impedance) can help predict how well heart transplant patients recover. Researchers followed 69 adults for one year after transplant, measuring muscle and fat changes. The goal was to see if these measurements could predict complications like organ rejection, kidney injury, or long hospital stays better than older methods like BMI or blood tests.
