Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy and Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography / Brain Natriuretic Peptide Coupling

Allograft Vasculopathy After Heart Transplantation : Diagnostic Interest of Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography and Brain Natriuretic Peptide Coupling

Primary purpose :To early detect cardiac allograft vasculopathy and to identify patients with high risk of cardiac events, by coupling the analysis of the kinetics of the brain natriuretic peptide ( BNP) with that of the left ventricle (LV) during a dobutamine stress echocardiography.

Hypothesis : Plasma BNP elevation and abnormalities of LV kinetic during the ESD, will be associated with the presence of allograft vasculopathy and the arisen of cardiovascular events.
