Abstract 2886: Angiotesin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitors Attenuate Age-related Progression of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy - A Serial Volumetric Intravascular Ultrasound Study
Abstract:Background
: The development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) portends an adverse clinical outcome in heart transplant recipients. Previous studies of clinical predictors of CAV have investigated small cohorts and have not evaluated the volumetric extent of disease. This study determined predictors of progression of the volumetric severity of vasculopathy in a large cohort of heart transplant recipients.
Methods
: Serial intravascular ultrasound … Show more
