follow-up

Last reviewed 01/2018

An example schedule would be:

• every month for the first 3 months after discharge home (endomyocardial biopsies; blood tests - renal and liver function tests, cyclosporin levels)
• every 2 months for the next 6 months, and the 6-monthly visits until year 2
• 2-years post transplant:
• cardiac catheterization and angiography to screen for coronary microvascular disease (chronic rejection)
• after 2 years, follow-up is generally annually
