Heart artery check after transplant
Part of Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have already received a heart transplant.
- You do not have dangerously unstable blood pressure or heart function after your transplant.
- You have not had a recent episode of acute rejection (your immune system attacking the new heart).
- You do not have asthma or a lung condition that requires a bronchodilator (which would make the use of the drug adenosine unsafe).
- You do not have any artery blockages in your heart that are already considered severe based on a special blood flow test.

This study checks whether a special blood test can help detect heart transplant rejection or problems by comparing it to biopsy results. It may help your care team monitor your transplant with less guesswork.
This Swedish study tests whether a simple blood test can detect early signs that your body is rejecting a transplanted heart. The test looks for DNA fragments in your blood that may signal rejection before symptoms appear, potentially helping doctors catch problems sooner.
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 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.
This trial measures how well tiny blood vessels in the heart are working in people who have had a heart transplant. It may help doctors understand transplant-related circulation problems and guide future care.
This study looks at how tiny blood vessels in the body work over time in people who have had a heart transplant. It aims to better understand changes in blood flow and how these may relate to health after transplant.
