Do mitral inflow and pulmonary venous Doppler measurements predict pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in heart transplant recipients?
Doppler-derived estimation of PCWP with mitral and pulmonary venous inflow patterns cannot be used to reliably predict PCWP in heart transplant recipients.
If confirmed in large multicenter prospective studies, the "biopsy-sparing" protocol seems to be applicable to both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients with anti-tTG titer ≥10 times ULN, positive EMA, and HLA-DQ2/DQ8.
