Transplant-Associated Coronary Artery Vasculopathy

By Rohit N. Kulkarni

Cardiac transplantation has had a major impact on the quality of life and longevity of an ever-increasing number of patients. This benefit is significantly eroded by the development of an accelerated form of coronary arterial disease, which shows some, but not all, of the characteristics of native coronary artery disease. If cardiac transplantation is to realize its potential, it is essential to prevent transplant related coronary disease. This volume contains an extensive review of recent knowledge in this field.
