Abstract
Adaptation of the heart is often a blessing for the patient, but sometimes a diagnostic challenge for the responsible physician. The clinical difficulty may be enhanced when employing diagnostic tools that are hard to interpret. Ratio-based metrics are notorious in this respect, and particularly risky in the follow-up evaluation of heart transplant patients. However, measures expressed as physical units contribute to a comprehensive clinical evaluation and guide proper patient management.
