title: Serial quantitative coronary angiography in the assessment of coronary disease in the transplanted heart.
abstract: Quantitative angiographic studies with use of cine-videodensitometry after maximal coronary vasodilation with nitroglycerin in 18 "angiographically normal" heart transplant recipients demonstrated significant loss of lumen diameter between years 1 and 3. When sensitive angiographic techniques are used, graft arteriopathy appears to be ubiquitous in heart transplant recipients.
