Cardiovascular diseases and risk factors in kidney transplant candidates

Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases and risk factors are associated with adverse cardiac events following kidney transplant. Therefore, pre-transplant evaluation of cardiovascular is important for determining the risk. The objective this study to determine prevalence in transplant candidates. Methods: This a single-center observational which includes 174 end-stage renal disease patients (male: 55.2% mean age: 49 ± 13 years) who underwent Preoperative clinical characteristics, were examined retrospectively. Results: population had multiple such as hypertension (66.7%), diabetes (28.2%), dyslipidemia (29.9%) smoking (30.5%) conducted prior most common detected congestive heart failure (10.9%) coronary artery (8.6%). rate myocardial revascularization (percutaneous intervention or bypass grafting) before was 6.9%. patients’ left ventricular mass index 114 32 g/m2, 55.5% hypertrophy. Conclusions: In our study, found be high.
