Background: For noninvasive surveillance of cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV), cardiac computed tomography (cardiac computed tomography [CT]) and positron emission tomography (PET) received a Class IIa recommendation by the 2023 ISHLT (International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation) guidelines. However, implementation has lagged behind because of concerns about their ability to rule out disease and stratify risk.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to define the diagnostic and prognostic ability of PET and cardiac CT in cardiac transplant recipients.
