ECG correlates of acute allograft rejection among heart transplant recipients in the NEW HEART study

Previous studies have suggested that acute allograft rejection is associated with increases in QT/QTc. This study sought to determine the relationship between acute allograft rejection and ECG changes in patients undergoing an orthotopic heart transplant. The study population consisted of 220 adult...

Zusammenfassung:Previous studies have suggested that acute allograft rejection is associated with increases in QT/QTc. This study sought to determine the relationship between acute allograft rejection and ECG changes in patients undergoing an orthotopic heart transplant. The study population consisted of 220 adult heart transplant patients enrolled in the NEW HEART Study. ECGs performed within 72h of endomyocardial biopsy were analyzed with ECGs obtained
