TMAD enters the toolbox for evaluating selected heart transplant patients

Abstract Adaptation of the heart is often a blessing for the patient, but sometimes a diagnostic challenge for the responsible physician. The clinical difficulty may be enhanced when employing diagnostic tools that are hard to interpret. Ratio‐based metrics are notorious in this respect, and particularly risky in the follow‐up evaluation of heart transplant patients. However, measures expressed as physical units contribute to a comprehensive clinical evaluation and guide proper patient management.
