P354 Right heart catheterization parameters, echocardiography parameters and B-Type natriuretic peptide prediction of acute cellular rejection in the first year after heart transplant

Introduction Since the mid-1970s, the diagnosis of acute cellular rejection (ACR) has been made by endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). Whether B-Type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) parameters and right heart catheterization (RHC) parameters can detect rejection in heart transplant (HT) patients have yielded conflicting results and did not overcome the use of EMB in the first year after HT. Purpose The aim of this study...
