From a statistical point of view, the study met its noninferiority boundaries, allowing the investigators to conclude that CMR-based approach appeared to be noninferior to EMB for AR surveillance in heart transplant recipients in their first year. To evaluate the first aim, a total of 108 CMRs with concomitant EMBs were performed in 33 heart transplant recipients and compared with 33 CMRs in nontransplant healthy controls, establishing CMR-based thresholds of multiparametric mapping for AR.
