Cardiac transplantation has become an important treatment option in terminal cardiac disease since the introduction of cyclosporin A for immunosuppression. Imaging methods play an important role in the diagnosis of all complications occurring after heart transplantation except for the transplant rejection reaction; endomyocardial biopsy is in continued use as none of the diagnostic imaging methods is able at present to diagnose rejection with sufficient accuracy. However, new imaging modalities that are only just starting to be widely used may change this in the foreseeable future.
自环孢素A用于免疫抑制以来，心脏移植已成为终末期心脏病的重要治疗选择。除移植排斥反应外，成像方法在心脏移植术后发生的所有并发症的诊断中都发挥着重要作用；心内膜活检仍在继续使用，因为目前没有一种诊断成像方法能够以足够的准确性诊断排斥反应。然而，刚刚开始广泛使用的新成像模式在可预见的未来可能会改变这种情况。
