AB  - We report the histopathologic correlates of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at 
      cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in a patient with heart transplant who died for 
      graft failure a few months after the scan. Extensive late enhancement was present 
      at CMR, and it correlated with extensive fibrosis at histology. To our knowledge, 
      this is the first time the findings on contrast enhancement CMR are compared to 
      the histology of the whole heart in a heart transplantation patient, and the 
      correspondence between LGE and fibrosis, demonstrated in other cardiac 
      pathologies, is confirmed also in this particular setting.
