Report from a consensus conference on antibody-mediated rejection in heart transplantation

TL;DR: A clinical definition for AMR (cardiac dysfunction and/or circulating donor-specific antibody) was no longer believed to be required due to recent publications demonstrating that asymptomatic (no cardiac dysfunction) biopsy-proven AMR is associated with subsequent greater mortality and greater development of cardiac allograft vasculopathy.
Journal ArticleDOI

A propensity-matched study of the association of low serum potassium levels and mortality in chronic heart failure.
