The role of the electrocardiogram in the recognition of cardiac transplant rejection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Clinical Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1002/clc.23783
Abstract: In cardiac transplant recipients, the electrocardiogram (ECG) is a noninvasive measure of early allograft rejection. The ECG can predict an acute cellular rejection, thus shortening the time to recognition of rejection. Earlier diagnosis has the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ctr.14959
Abstract: Heart transplantation (HT) has historically been limited by organ availability. Use of donation after circulatory death (DCD) donors addresses this limitation by utilizing previously unused hearts through use of the Organ Care System (OCS). read more here.
