Summary
On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the Digital Media Editors invite first author Nikil Prasad, MD , a cardiology fellow in the Columbia University Medical Center in New York, to discuss the paper, " Can the grading of mild cardiac allograft vasculopathy be further refined? An angiographic and physiologic assessment of heart transplant recipients with ISHLT CAV 1 ." The discussion explores: The study's subdivisions of CAV grade 1 into CAV 1a and CAV 1b, based on the degree of coronary stenosis Differing clinical information provided by different methods of CAV screening: reduced myocardial blood flow reserve vs angiographic grading Limitations in implementing PET-based CAV assessments at various centers, and how transplant programs can use combined testing data For the latest studies from JHLT , visit www.jhltonline.org/current , or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt .
