Evaluation of coronary artery disease in potential liver transplant recipients.

TL;DR: In assessing LT recipients, a management paradigm of “quadruple assessment” is suggested to include (1) history, examination, and electrocardiogram; (2) transthoracic echocardiograms; (3) functional testing; and (4) where appropriate, direct assessment of CAD.

The prognostic value of regadenoson SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with end-stage renal disease

TL;DR: Regadenoson-stress SPECT-MPI provides a significant prognostic value in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is associated with increased rate of the composite endpoint of cardiac death, MI, or CR.
Journal ArticleDOI

The diagnostic and prognostic utility of risk factors defined by the AHA/ACCF on the evaluation of cardiac disease in liver transplantation candidates.

TL;DR: Having ≥3 AHA/ACCF risk factors is a reasonable threshold to prompt non-invasive stress testing in asymptomatic liver transplantation candidates, and provides significant diagnostic and prognostic utility.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of heart rate response during regadenoson stress myocardial perfusion imaging in patients with end stage renal disease

TL;DR: Blunted HRR (<28%) to regadenoson is a strong and independent predictor of death and cardiovascular events in patients with ESRD and adds incremental prognostic value.

Chronic kidney disease and the risks of death, cardiovascular events, and hospitalization

TL;DR: The longitudinal glomerular filtration rate was estimated among 1,120,295 adults within a large, integrated system of health care delivery in whom serum creatinine had been measured between 1996 and 2000 and who had not undergone dialysis or kidney transplantation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inflammation, Atherosclerosis, and Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: The evidence is recounted that atherosclerosis, the main cause of CAD, is an inflammatory disease in which immune mechanisms interact with metabolic risk factors to initiate, propagate, and activate lesions in the arterial tree.
Journal ArticleDOI

Kidney disease as a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease: a statement from the American Heart Association Councils on Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease, High Blood Pressure Research, Clinical Cardiology, and Epidemiology and Prevention.

TL;DR: There was a high prevalence of CVD in CKD and that mortality due to CVD was 10 to 30 times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population, and the task force recommended that patients with CKD be considered in the “highest risk group” for subsequent CVD events.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fractional flow reserve versus angiography for guiding percutaneous coronary intervention

TL;DR: Routine measurement of FFR in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease who are undergoing PCI with drug-eluting stents significantly reduces the rate of the composite end point of death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and repeat revascularization at 1 year.
