Cardiovascular Functional Reserve Before and After Kidney Transplant.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Restitution of kidney function by transplant confers a survival benefit in patients with end-stage renal disease. Investigations of mechanisms involved in improved cardiovascular survival have relied heavily on static measures from echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and have provided conflicting results to date.

Objectives

To evaluate cardiovascular functional reserve in patients with end-stage renal disease before and after kidney transplant and to assess functional and morphologic alterations of structural-functional dynamics in this population.

Design, setting, and participants

This prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, 3-arm, controlled cohort study, the Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Renal Failure and After Kidney Transpla
