Myocardial perfusion is impaired in asymptomatic patients post renal transplantation

چکیده
Background Cardiovascular disease is one of the commonest causes of mortality post-renal transplantation (RT), often in patients with no known cardiac disease. The cardiac phenotype in these patients is not clearly defined. Multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables concurrent assessment of myocardial function, perfusion and irreversible injury. We hypothesized that myocardial perfusion reserve would be impaired in asymptomatic post-renal transplant patients when compared with hypertensive controls.

Introduction: One of the most important causes of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and even after kidney transplantation is cardiovascular diseases. Thus, cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance in the management of these patients especially during preoperative work up before renal transplantation. The aim of present study is to evaluate the role of myoc...
