About This Trial
Acute cardiac rejection is currently diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), but multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be a non-invasive alternative by its capacity for myocardial structure and function characterization. Our primary aim was to determine the utility of multiparametric CMR in identifying acute graft rejection in paediatric heart transplant recipients. The second aim…

Inclusion Criteria:
* children and young adults (transplanted when they were ≤ 18 years) who undergo an EMB for routine surveillance without contraindications to contrast-enhanced CMR
Exclusion Criteria:
