Biopsy specimen-proven rejection is associated with a significant decline in biventricular TDI velocities from baseline in pediatric HT recipients. By using well-defined TDI criteria to predict non-rejection, a substantial proportion of planned biopsies may be deferred or avoided at minimal risk to pediatric HT recipients.
