CAV

There are multiple definitions:

  1. chicken anemia virus(English)

  2. cardiac allograft vasculopathy(English)

    • although both traditional CAD and CAV are characterized by coronary lesions, CAV has clinical and pathological characteristics quite distinct from CAD. CAV develops rapidly after HTX, coming to clinical attention within years, whereas CAD takes decades after birth to present clinically. Risk factors for CAV include the traditional coronary disease factors such as age (in this case, increasing age of the donor) and hyperlipidemia, in addition to immunologic risk factors such as previous episodes of cellular rejection and donor specific antibodies. Patients with CAD commonly present with angina or acute coronary syndromes, whereas HTX recipients are identified as having significant CAV most frequently after routine surveillance studies
