Abstract

Coronary occlusive disease following cardiac transplantation is monitored using serial angiography, and graded on a 3 point scale according to the amount of narrowing observed in major vessels. Disease progression is modelled as a continuous time Markov process. The Gibbs sampler is used to estimate the marginal posterior distributions of the transition rates between grades of disease and from each grade to death.
