In conjunction with biopsy and Doppler studies, we analysed by high resolution proton NMR spectroscopy the blood plasma of 22 heart transplant recipients. There was a significant variation in the glycosylated residues of proteins with the development of acute cardiac rejection. A more extensive study is underway to assess the sensitivity and specificity of this approach for the early diagnosis of acute cardiac rejection.
