Feasibility and Prognostic Value of Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) are at high cardiovascular risk. The safety and prognostic value of stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in ESRD patients remains unclear as data are lacking due to perceived contrast agent-related risk.

Objectives

The authors aimed to assess the safety and prognostic value of stress CMR in asymptomatic ESRD patients on waitlist for kidney transplantation.

Methods

This was an observational single-center cohort study of asymptomatic patients with ESRD (estimated glomerular filtration rate <30 mL/min/1.73 m² or on dialysis) referred for stress CMR. Patterns of abnormal perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement were classified as typical or atypical for ischemic heart disease. Patients were foll
