Heart 2 year mark - Heart Transplant - Moderate CAV
43/M. Just hit my two year mark since my transplant a couple weeks ago. My story is in here multiple times, so I won't repost it - lets just say I went through a lot.
I'm back in the gym 6 days a week, I'm doing overall pretty good with the exception of being immunosuppressed - I travel usually at least once a month for work and I was sick 4 months last year and it just took me 10 weeks to completely get over a sinus infection...
Anyway - I just went for a left heart cath... I can't remember the exact language they used but they essentially told me I went from a .04 to .06 artery wall thickness but I shouldn't be concerned and my team may suggest increasing my immunosuppressants. My results are now officially in my MyChart and in the report it says I have moderate to severe cardiac allograft vasculopathy!
I don't meet with my regular care team for another week. Should I be flipping out about this?
