Rejection
Diagnosed by biopsy
Do not treat if stable, as steroids will muddy biopsy results
Methylprednisolone 1g IV if in extremis
Dysrhythmias
Bradycardia will ‘’’NOT’’’ respond to atropine due to denervation
transplant patients with symptomatic bradycardia may respond to isoproterenol 1 μg/min, titrated slowly to max 4 μg/min
Transplant patients may be overly sensitive to adverse effects from adenosine
Sinus node dysfunction usually requires pacemaker placement
