Allograft Vasculopathy: The Achilles’ Heel of Heart Transplantation
TL;DR: Treatment approaches continue to evolve, but prevention remains the focus, and newer mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors can significantly delay the progression of CAV; however, their optimal use remains to be established.

Honoring 50 Years of Clinical Heart Transplantation in Circulation: In-Depth State-of-the-Art Review.
TL;DR: The translation of heart transplantation from innovative experiments to long-term clinical success has married prescient insights with discipline and organization in the domains of surgical techniques, organ preservation, immunosuppression, organ donation and transplant logistics, infection control, and longterm graft surveillance as discussed by the authors.

Interacting Mechanisms in the Pathogenesis of Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy
TL;DR: 6 potential contributors to lesion formation are discussed, including conventional risk factors of atherosclerosis; (2) pre- or peritransplant injuries; (3) infection; (4) innate immunity; (5) T-cell-mediated immunity; and (6) B- cell- mediated immunity through production of donor-specific antibody.

The development of QUADAS: a tool for the quality assessment of studies of diagnostic accuracy included in systematic reviews
TL;DR: In this article, an evidence-based quality assessment tool called QUADAS was proposed to assess the quality of primary studies of diagnostic accuracy, based on the results of three previously conducted reviews of the diagnostic literature.
