Identification of common blood gene signatures for the diagnosis of renal and cardiac acute allograft rejection. [PDF]
, 2013 To test, whether 10 genes, diagnostic of renal allograft rejection in blood, are able to diagnose and predict cardiac allograft rejection, we analyzed 250 blood samples from heart transplant recipients with and without acute rejection (AR) and with ...

Loeffler endomyocardial fibrosis [PDF]
European Heart Journal, 2006 A 58-year-old patient known for an idiopathic hyper-eosinophilic syndrome, previously treated with interferon, presented with severe dyspnoea and clinical signs of right ventricular (RV) failure. The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) confirmed the RV systolic dysfunction with severe tricuspid valve (TV) regurgitation and an apical fibrotic ...
