Due to the limitation of the SR sample size (n = 23) and statistical power, we limited each model to three variables (respecting the 1:10 rule).

SR, significant acute cardiac allograft rejection = ACR grade ≥2R and/or AMR grade ≥ pAMR1; CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; BMI, body mass index; hs-cTnI, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide; LV, left ventricular; ESV, end-systolic volume; EDV, end-diastolic volume; EDVi, end-diastolic volume index; EF, ejection fraction; CO, cardiac output; GRS, global radial strain; GCS, global circumferential strain; GLS, global longitudinal strain; ECV, extracellular volume; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; Model 1, NT-proBNP, LV GLS, and native T1; Model 2, NT-proBNP, native T1, and T2; Model 3, NT-proBNP, LV GLS, and T2.
