Restrictive hemodynamic patterns after cardiac transplantation: relationship to histologic signs of rejection.

Abstract:

:Hemodynamic and echocardiographic data from 33 consecutive patients undergoing cardiac transplantation were correlated with endomyocardial biopsy results to determine whether reversible restrictive hemodynamics accompany histologic evidence of transplant rejection. During the study period 251 biopsy specimens were obtained during periods of no histologic evidence of transplant rejection and 52 episodes of mild, 20 episodes of moderate, and one episode of severe rejection. Right atrial mean pressure increased significantly during episodes of moderate transplant rejection (9.9 +/- 6.2 mm Hg, p less than 0.001) compared with pressures obtained during periods when there was no evidence of rejection (4.6 +/- 3.2 mm Hg), mild rejection (5.8 +/- 3.9 mm Hg), or resolving rejection (4.3 +/- 3.4 mm Hg). Y descent was elevated during moderate rejection (9.6 +/- 4.2 mm Hg, p less than 0.001) compared with pressures during episodes of no rejection (5.6 +/- 2.5 mm Hg), mild rejection (6.6 +/- 2.7 mm Hg), and resolving rejection (5.8 +/- 3.1 mm Hg) and showed a wave morphology consistent with a restrictive hemodynamic pattern. Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure was increased during moderate rejection (14.4 +/- 6.4 mm Hg) when compared with pressures obtained during episodes of no rejection (10.2 +/- 5.8 mm Hg) or resolving rejection (10.2 +/- 5.4 mm Hg) (p less than 0.02). Sensitivity for a right atrial mean pressure of 11 mm Hg indicating moderate rejection was 41% with a specificity of 96%. Sensitivity for Y descent (greater than or equal to 10 mm Hg) was 52% and specificity was 94%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
