Capturing the evolving landscape of primary graft dysfunction after heart transplantation. Will Achilles ever overtake the tortoise?

In Zeno's paradox of Achilles and the tortoise, as described by Aristotle, Achilles races against the tortoise but gives the tortoise a head start. Although Achilles reaches each point where the tortoise has been, the tortoise moves forward, creating new points for Achilles to reach. This process repeats endlessly, indicating that Achilles will never catch up to the tortoise. Conventional outcomes research, using traditional analytical methods, faces analogous challenges in predicting risks in clinical medicine.
