About this trial
This study aims to develop and refine a microRNA (miR) biomarker panel that can be used to phenotype net immune state after heart transplantation using circulating miRs (associated with drug doses and levels). These miRs will be used to characterize the overall immune state in adult heart transplant patients and predict patients that will go on to develop infection and rejection. MicroRNAs (miRs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression and serve as molecular biomarkers found in the circulation.
Eligibility criteria

Patient able and willing to comply with the study visit schedule, study procedures, and study requirements.
Disqualifiers
Recipient of a multi-organ transplant
History of prior solid organ transplant before the index heart transplant
Ongoing mechanical circulatory support or hemodynamic instability (e.g., inotrope or vasopressor therapy)
Ongoing need for renal replacement therapy and/or dialysis
