pubmed:abstractText |
Noninvasive studies to detect or predict acute allograft rejection after heart transplantation have failed to be sufficiently reliable to substitute for endomyocardial biopsy. Isoforms of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (MB2 and MB1) are extremely sensitive markers of ischemic myocardial damage and, in theory, may be elevated in cardiac allograft rejection when myocardial necrosis is visible on microscopy (International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation grade 2 or greater).
