Diffuse intra-alveolar haemorrhage as a complication of thrombolytic therapy in acute myocardial infarction.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Acute cardiac allograft rejection continues to be the cause of graft loss and contributes to the morbidity and mortality after cardiac transplantation. Repetitive endomyocardial biopsies are necessary to monitor the effects of immunosuppressants after cardiac transplantation. In this study, we investigate whe...
