Association of Lipid Core Burden Index With Early Progression of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy in Patients After Heart Transplantation
BACKGROUND: The association of the lipid-core burden index (LCBI), measured using near-infrared spectroscopy-intravascular ultrasound (NIRS-IVUS), with early progression of cardiac allograft vasculopathy remains unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: group. CONCLUSIONS: at baseline exhibited greater MIT progression during the first post-transplant year.
