Summary
Is real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) a feasible and effective
non-invasive method to detect significant Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy in pediatric and
adult cardiac transplant recipients? Will perfusion deficits correlate with significant
coronary artery stenosis identified by standard stress echocardiography and Invasive Coronary
Angiography (ICA), and identify diffuse small vessel disease more effectively than current
non-invasive techniques?
