Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) causes impaired blood flow in both epicardial coronary arteries and the microvasculature. A leading cause of post-transplant mortality, CAV impacts 50% of heart transplant (HT) recipients within 10 years of HT. This analysis examined the outcomes of HT recipients with reduced myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) and microvascular CAV detected by 13N-ammonia positron emission tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (PET). 181 HT recipients who underwent PET to assess for CAV were included with a median follow-up of 4.7 years. Patients were classified into two groups according to the total MBFR: >2.0 and ≤2.0. Microvascular CAV was defined as no epicardial CAV detected by PET and/or coronary angiography, but with an MBFR ≤2.0 by PET. 71 (39%) patients had an MBFR ≤2.0. Patients with an MBFR ≤2.0 experienced an increased risk for all outcomes: 7-fold increase in death or retransplantation (HR 7.05, 95% CI 3.2–15.6, p<0.0001), 12-fold increase in cardiovascular death (HR 12.0, 95% CI 2.64–54.12, p=0.001), and 10-fold increase in cardiovascular hospitalization (HR 10.1, 95% CI 3.43–29.9, p<0.0001). Five-year mean survival was 302 days less than those with an MBFR >2.0 (95% CI 260.2–345.4 days, p<0.0001). Microvascular CAV (adjusted HR 3.86, 95% CI 1.58–9.40, p=0.003) was independently associated with an increased risk of death or retransplantation. Abnormal myocardial blood flow reserve, even in the absence of epicardial CAV, identifies patients at a high risk of death or retransplantation. Measures of myocardial blood flow provide prognostic information in addition to traditional CAV assessment. Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) causes impaired blood flow in both epicardial coronary arteries and the microvasculature and is a leading cause of post-transplant morbidity and mortality. Non-invasive assessment of CAV with PET myocardial perfusion imaging provides measurements of myocardial blood flow. HT recipients with a reduced (≤2.0) myocardial blood flow reserve had a 7-fold increase in death or retransplantation, 12-fold increase in CV death, and 10-fold increase in CV hospitalization. Patients with isolated microvascular CAV had a nearly four times the risk of death or retransplantation. Measures of myocardial blood flow provide prognostic information in addition to traditional CAV assessment.
