Sponsor's own description

Pathological analysis is the gold standard for diagnosis of acute allograft rejection after heart transplantation (HTx). This method requires repeated endomyocardial biopsies during the first post-operative year. However the sensitivity of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is not perfect and can be associated with major complications including fatal tamponade. Moreover, repeated biopsies are associated with reduced quality of life for HTx recipients. Since almost 20 years, the investigators do not perform routinely EMB for acute rejection screening. Early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction was investigated according to a standardized protocol. The investigators sought to analyze the long-term post-transplant outcomes without systematic EMB. The investigators hypothesize that exclusive echographic screening was not associated with impaired outcomes.
