چکیده

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) can affect several organs in addition to the kidney. There is paucity in the literature on the cardiac manifestations of this disease.

This study shows that subjects with ADPKD and end-stage renal failure have dilatation of coronary arteries independent of traditional coronary risk factors and medication use.
