What is common methods of diagnosing the disorder of heart transplant

Answer 1

Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should to meet the demands of the body.

-Heart transplantation can be indicated in patients with late-stage heart disease and who have received the maximum medical

and surgical treatment

- late-stage heart failure due to any cause;

- refractory life-threatening arrhythmias despite optimal medication, surgical, and device therapy;

- refractory angina not amenable to further revascularization

- complex congenital heart disease with failed surgical palliation or not amenable to surgical palliation at acceptable risk.

The common diagnostic tests which are performed to know the severity of cardiac diseases for diagnosing the disorder of

heart transplant that may include:

*Blood and urine test (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)

*Chest X-ray to know the condition of heart and lungs and to know the condition other than heart failure

*Electrocardiogram (ECG).: This test records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes attached to the skin. It

helps the doctor diagnose heart rhythm problems and damage to the heart.

*Echocardiogram.: An echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce a video image of the heart. This test can help doctors

see the size and shape of your heart along with any abnormalities. An echocardiogram measures your ejection fraction, an

important measurement of how well your heart is pumping, and which is used to help classify heart failure and guide

treatment.

*Stress test.: Stress tests measure the health of your heart by how it responds to exertion.

*CT Scan: to know the level of abnormalities

*MRI: To confirm the diagnosis

*Coronary angiogram: To know the status of the blood vessels of the heart

*Myocardial biopsy: In this test, the doctor inserts a small, flexible biopsy cord into a vein in the neck or groin, and small

pieces of the heart muscle are taken. This test may be performed to diagnose certain types of heart muscle diseases that

cause heart failure.

To confirm the disorder of heart transplant the survival chances are more and may help them to live longer and reduce

the chance of dying suddenly.
