Study Arms (2)

Exposed: Positive anti-HLA antibodies

Heart transplant patients who have developed antiHLA antibodies after transplant

Diagnostic Test: EchocardiogramDiagnostic Test: Cardiac magnetic resonanceDiagnostic Test: Coronary angiographyDiagnostic Test: Endomyocardial biopsy

Non-exposed: Negative anti-HLA antibodies

Heart transplant patients without antiHLA antibodies with similar transplant date to its correspondent case.

Diagnostic Test: EchocardiogramDiagnostic Test: Cardiac magnetic resonanceDiagnostic Test: Coronary angiographyDiagnostic Test: Endomyocardial biopsy

Interventions

EchocardiogramDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Ultrasound study to assess cardiac anatomy and function

Study Population

The study population will be conformed of heart transplant patients who are under follow-up at 3 hospitals of the Autonomous Region of Madrid (Spain). All the three hospitals are national referral center for heart transplantation.

You may qualify if:

  • Exposed:
  • Heart transplant recipients
  • "De novo" antiHLA detection (after heart transplant):
  • Mean fluorescence intensity (MFI)) \> 2000 for donor-specific antibodies
  • Standard fluorescence intensity (SFI) \> 150 000 for non-donor specific antibodies
  • Detailed immunological history:
  • Determination of anti-HLA antibodies before heart transplant.
  • Serial determination of anti-HLA antibodies during heart transplantation follow-up
  • Known HLA typing of the donor.
  • Non-exposed: Heart transplant procedure contemporary to the index case with negative anti-HLA antibodies.

You may not qualify if:

  • Recipient of a second HT
  • Multiple organ transplantation
  • Unknown immunological history
  • Recipients sensitized with anti-HLA antibodies against donor's HLA before the transplant
  • CMR contrast will not be administered in patients with glomerular filtration rate \< 30 ml/kg/1.73m2
  • Patients with implanted cardiac devices or any other magnetic resonance non-compatible metallic prosthetic material will not undergo CMR.
