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
Cardiac imaging for the assessment of patients being evaluated for kidney or liver transplantation.
TL;DR: The burden of coronary artery disease among kidney and liver transplant candidates is addressed and the literature pertaining to the diagnostic accuracy and the prognostic value of noninvasive cardiac imaging techniques in this population is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stress SPECT Myocardial Perfusion Imaging in End-Stage Renal Disease
Yasmeen Golzar,Rami Doukky +1 more
TL;DR: The burden of coronary artery disease in the ESRD population is discussed and the literature on the diagnostic and prognostic performance, clinical value, and future directions of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in E SRD patients is reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Imaging for Coronary Heart Disease Risk Stratification in Chronic Kidney Disease
Vasken Dilsizian,Henry Gewirtz,Thomas H. Marwick,Raymond Y. Kwong,Paolo Raggi,Mouaz H. Al-Mallah,Charles A. Herzog +6 more
TL;DR: Echocardiography, non-contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance, nuclear myocardial perfusion, and metabolic imaging offer a variety of approaches to assess obstructive CAD and cardiomyopathy of advanced CKD without the need for nephrotoxic contrast agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regadenoson use in chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease: A focused review.
TL;DR: The evidence leading to the recent label update is discussed, focusing on the pharmacokinetics of regadenoson in patients with impaired kidney function, the safety and tolerability, and the prognostic value of reg adenoson stress MPI in this patient population.

Comparison of Mortality in All Patients on Dialysis, Patients on Dialysis Awaiting Transplantation, and Recipients of a First Cadaveric Transplant
Robert A. Wolfe,Valarie B. Ashby,Edgar L. Milford,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Robert E. Ettenger,Lawrence Y. Agodoa,Philip J. Held,Friedrich K. Port +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors conducted a longitudinal study of mortality in 228,552 patients who were receiving long-term dialysis for end-stage renal disease, and 46,164 were placed on a waiting list for transplantation, 23,275 of whom received a first cadaveric transplant between 1991 and 1997.

Edward O. McFalls,Herbert B. Ward,Thomas E. Moritz,Steven Goldman,William C. Krupski,Fred N. Littooy,Gordon L. Pierpont,Steve Santilli,Joseph H. Rapp,Joseph H. Rapp,Brack Hattler,Kendrick A. Shunk,Kendrick A. Shunk,Connie Jaenicke,Lizy Thottapurathu,Nancy Ellis,Domenic J. Reda,William G. Henderson +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors randomly assigned patients at increased risk for perioperative cardiac complications and clinically significant coronary artery disease to undergo either revascularization or no revascularisation before elective major vascular surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term survival in renal transplant recipients with graft function.
Akinlolu O. Ojo,Julie A. Hanson,Robert A. Wolfe,Alan B. Leichtman,Lawrence Y. Agodoa,Friedrich K. Port +5 more
TL;DR: Although DWGF is a major cause of graft loss, the risk has declined substantially since 1990 and attention to atherosclerotic risk factors may be the most important challenge to further improve the longevity of patients with successful renal transplants.
