Trajectories of Early Hemodynamic Changes After Heart Transplantation: The Evil is in the Details

Purpose: Hemodymamics is not included in the standard evaluation of graft function after heart transplantation (HT). We routinely perform right heart catheterization (RHC) at every endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). We sought to describe the potential longitudinal trajectories of hemodynamics through the first year after HT and analyze their relationship with subsequent cardiovascular outcomes.
