Please join Dr. Defne Magnetta and Dr. Nicole Arva at an upcoming webinar which will review the ISHLT grading system for acute rejection in pediatric heart transplantation, the strengths and pitfalls of histopathology, and how the MMDx™ Heart test can help provide a more comprehensive and accurate diagnosis by combining the power of traditional histopathology with molecular techniques to identify specific genetic and molecular changes associated with diseases.
During this webinar, we’ll discuss how MMDx Heart can provide valuable information in cases of severe cellular rejection following an organ transplant, helping to manage antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), guide treatment decisions, and improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
- To review the ISHLT grading system for acute rejection in pediatric heart transplantation and discuss the strengths and pitfalls of histopathology
- To discuss the additional information gained from MMDx in cases of severe cellular rejection
- To illustrate the way in which MMDx and histopathology utilized together may help guide management of AMR
