welcomes you to the new, improved website!Systolic and diastolic myocardial motion was determined using magnetic resonance tissue phase mapping (n=27). Cold ischemic time of the transplanted heart >155 min is associated with decreased myocardial velocities whereas longer postoperative time has a positive influence. The future aim is to develop a non-invasive method to diagnose transplant rejection.
