The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy, cost-effectiveness, and
appropriate use of SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging (SMPI) versus stress …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), rather than endstage kidney disease (ESRD), is the leading
cause of death in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), accounting for nearly 50% of …

Cardiovascular disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after renal
transplantation. Pretransplant screening in a subset of these patients for occult coronary …

Aim Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with SPECT (single photon emission computerized
tomography) is commonly used for preoperative renal transplant assessment. We performed …

Purpose Noninvasive stress testing is commonly performed as part of pre-renal
transplantation (RT) evaluation. We evaluated the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion …

Increased cardiac risk associated with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a
particular challenge when evaluating candidates for renal transplantation. The incidence of …

Screening for coronary artery disease is common practice in the evaluation of liver
transplantation candidates. However, it is unclear whether coronary screening influences …

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at high risk of cardiovascular events. This
study examined the prognostic power of stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in 150 …

Background Renal transplantation (RT) reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with end-
stage renal failure. Myocardial perfusion imaging provides prognostic information in patients …

Background Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death after kidney
transplantation. Coronary artery disease (CAD) assessment is therefore mandatory in …
