Abstract
Universal prophylaxis was associated with delayed onset of CMV infection, lower viral burden, reduced CMV disease/syndrome and less intimal thickening, as compared with a preemptive anti-CMV approach. Randomized studies are required to confirm the potential benefits of prophylaxis vs a preemptive approach in heart transplant recipients.
