Heart transplant failure and rejection

Last edited: 4/23/2026

Overview

Heart transplant failure encompasses both graft rejection and complications such as primary graft dysfunction (PGD) and cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), significantly impacting post-transplant outcomes and patient survival. 131023

Diagnosis

  • Primary Graft Dysfunction (PGD): Early post-transplant assessment using clinical criteria and imaging modalities like CT angiography. 11023
  • Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy (CAV): Non-invasive imaging techniques including cardiac CT and PET/CT for detection and assessment. 34823
  • Rejection Surveillance: Endomyocardial biopsy remains gold standard, complemented by non-invasive methods like CMR and strain imaging. 133451
  • Electrocardiograms (ECGs): Serial ECGs proposed for early detection of rejection. 14
  • Metabolomics and Biomarkers: Emerging role of plasma metabolomics and biomarkers like RDW for risk stratification. 126
  • Management

  • Rejection Treatment: Corticosteroids as first-line, with adjunctive agents like anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) or basiliximab for severe cases. 1324
  • CAV Management: Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and statins for prevention and management. 2844
  • Mechanical Support: Use of LVADs or RVADs in refractory cases of graft failure or severe dysfunction. 171929
  • Iron Supplementation: Intravenous iron therapy to address anemia and improve physical capacity. 3037
  • Immunosuppression Optimization: Tailored immunosuppression regimens to minimize rejection risk while avoiding toxicity. 2440
  • Special Populations

  • Pediatrics: Early detection of rejection and CAV using CMR and strain imaging; tailored immunosuppression and close monitoring. 135155
  • Elderly: Consideration of comorbidities and frailty in immunosuppression strategies; vigilant monitoring for CAV and rejection. 723
  • Comorbidities: Management of conditions like pulmonary hypertension and sleep-disordered breathing to mitigate transplant outcomes. 3633
  • Key Recommendations

  • Utilize non-invasive imaging techniques such as cardiac CT and PET/CT for early detection and monitoring of CAV. (Evidence: Moderate) 348
  • Implement serial ECGs for potential early detection of transplant rejection. (Evidence: Weak) 14
  • Optimize immunosuppression regimens based on individual risk factors to balance rejection prevention and toxicity. (Evidence: Moderate) 2440
  • Consider intravenous iron supplementation to improve physical capacity and manage anemia in transplant recipients. (Evidence: Moderate) 3037
  • Employ mechanical circulatory support devices for severe graft failure or refractory heart failure. (Evidence: Expert opinion) 1719
