Testing causes of heart transplant graft problems with scans
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at why heart transplant “grafts” can start to malfunction again after transplant. If you qualify, you may undergo MRI and related heart testing to help researchers find ways to detect or understand graft dysfunction.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- Your heart transplant was at least 3 months ago
- No proven episode of acute rejection in the past 3 months
- No recent heart-related chest pain from blocked arteries (past 3 months)
- You have no major breathing blockage problem that’s not well controlled

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is studying whether a blood test that measures small molecules called microRNAs can help doctors personalize the medicines used to prevent rejection after a heart transplant. If you qualify, you would help researchers learn how to better match immunosuppression to each patient's needs.
This study uses advanced heart imaging and blood tests to detect a type of rejection that can happen after a heart transplant. It may help doctors diagnose antibody-mediated rejection earlier and more accurately.
This study tests a new way to check the health of the arteries in your new heart after transplant. It uses a special medication (adenosine) to see how well blood flows through the heart's arteries, which could help doctors find problems early.
This study investigates a new heart scan (called a cardiac PET) to detect early signs of blood vessel disease in heart transplant patients. If you had your transplant 2 to 10 years ago, this scan might be an alternative to the usual yearly checkup with an invasive procedure (angiogram).
This study tests whether a heart MRI can detect early signs of organ rejection after a heart transplant. If successful, it could reduce the need for frequent biopsies.
This trial is for people who have had a heart transplant and are having symptoms or need routine invasive check-ups. It tests an approach aimed at better understanding and monitoring “micro-vessel” problems in the transplanted heart.
