Abstract:

 BACKGROUND: Acute rejection is a key factor for long survival of transplanted heart. Therefore, discovering and controlling acute rejections in time is very important in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical significance of ultrasoundcardiogram after heart transplantation.
METHODS: Recently published articles concerning clinical and animal research on ultrasoundcardiogram following heart transplantation were searched. Then, we analyzed the features of ultrasoundcardiogram of transplanted heart, structural and functional changes of donor hearts in the recipients. Relevant markers were measured and compared to evaluate the effect of ultrasoundcardiogram against acute rejections after heart transplantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Ultrasoundcardiogram can invasively monitor acute rejections after heart transplantation in time, and also can provide important references for pre-transplantation recipient evaluation, intra-transplantation monitoring, and post-transplantation follow-up. However, lack of cases and post-transplantation monitoring in different periods may impact our findings. Post-transplantation monitoring in the same period can improve the comparativeness and accuracy of the study.
