A new risk score model to predict the presence of significant coronary artery disease in renal transplant candidates
BACKGROUND Renal transplant candidates are at high risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to develop a new risk score model to determine the pre-test probability of the occurrence of significant CAD in renal transplant candidates. METHODS A total of 1,060 renal transplant candidates underwent a comprehensive cardiovascular risk evaluation. Patients considered at high risk of CAD (ag...
متن کاملDobutamine stress cardiac MRI reliably predicts significant coronary disease in renal transplant candidates
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts for half of all deaths in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD) who have undergone renal transplantation. In patients with ESKD, “angiographically” significant CAD may be asymptomatic. Identification of these patients, with subsequent revascularisation, may reduce the prevalence of adverse cardiovascular events in the peri-transplant and...

متن کاملPre-operative computed tomography coronary angiography to detect significant coronary artery disease in patients referred for cardiac valve surgery.
OBJECTIVES We studied the diagnostic performance of 64-slice computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) to rule out or detect significant coronary stenosis in patients referred for valve surgery. BACKGROUND Invasive conventional coronary angiography (CCA) is recommended in most patients scheduled for valve surgery. METHODS During a 6-month period, 145 patients were prospectively identi...
