Early diagnosis of CAV is of utmost importance as it allows alterations to optimal immunosuppression and risk factor modification prolonging graft survival and reducing morbidity and mortality. In most transplant centers coronary angiography is currently used to screen and diagnose transplant associated coronary artery disease.
