Using MRI to detect early heart transplant rejection
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You received a heart transplant before age 21.
- At least 2 months have passed since your transplant.
- You are between 6 and 25 years old.
- You have a heart biopsy scheduled (either because of suspected rejection or as routine monitoring).
- You can have a cardiac MRI within 5 days of that biopsy.

This trial tests if a special MRI can detect early signs of heart rejection in children and young adults who have had a heart transplant. If successful, it might reduce the need for invasive biopsies.
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 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 renews research using heart MRI scans to learn more about heart transplant patients and compare them with healthy control scans. It may help researchers understand heart function after transplant and improve future imaging care.
This study is looking at heart transplant children (up to age 18) to see if measuring tiny molecules called microRNAs in the blood can help doctors personalize anti-rejection medicines. It aims to improve how we prevent rejection while reducing side effects.
This study evaluates a new way to analyze heart function using a standard cardiac MRI scanner. If you have heart disease and need a heart MRI anyway, this trial tests whether this new analysis method works well across different hospitals and MRI machines.
