Abstract

The approach to cardiovascular risk assessment before renal transplantation is still controversial. Therefore, we evaluated and compared the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) and dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who are candidates for kidney transplantation (KTx). Methods: We prospectively enrolled 356 ESRD clinical transplantations for review, only patients (NCT01064674) admitted to our transplant center between August 2009 and July 2012. Cardiovascular risk assessment at the time of listing was based on the Münster Cardiovascular Risk Stratification Score (MCRSS), additionally including evaluation by DSE and MPS in all ESRD patients. Coronary angiography was conducted in patients at high risk according to the MCRSS and in those where noninvasive stress testing revealed stress-induced ischemia or wall motion abnormalities. Results: During long-term follow-up until October 2020, 2.43 cardiovascular events/100 person-years (nonfatal stroke, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death) occurred, and the overall patient survival was 71.9%. Mild perfusion deficits identified by MPS, unlike wall motion abnormalities detected by DSE, showed incremental prognostic value for event-free survival in patients with low MCRSS risk. Conclusion: We therefore propose a modified MCRSS-based approach including MPS as a reasonable risk stratification approach for cardiovascular risk assessment of ESRD patients applying for KTx.

期刊介绍: Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research aims to serve as a channel of rapid communication for all those involved in the care of patients who require, or have had, organ or tissue transplants, including: kidney, intestine, liver, pancreas, islets, heart, heart valves, lung, bone marrow, cornea, skin, bone, and cartilage, viable or stored. Published monthly, Clinical Transplantation’s scope is focused on the complete spectrum of present transplant therapies, as well as also those that are experimental or may become possible in future. Topics include: Immunology and immunosuppression; Patient preparation; Social, ethical, and psychological issues; Complications, short- and long-term results; Artificial organs; Donation and preservation of organ and tissue; Translational studies; Advances in tissue typing; Updates on transplant pathology;. Clinical and translational studies are particularly welcome, as well as focused reviews. Full-length papers and short communications are invited. Clinical reviews are encouraged, as well as seminal papers in basic science which might lead to immediate clinical application. Prominence is regularly given to the results of cooperative surveys conducted by the organ and tissue transplant registries. Clinical Transplantation: The Journal of Clinical and Translational Research is essential reading for clinicians and researchers in the diverse field of transplantation: surgeons; clinical immunologists; cryobiologists; hematologists; gastroenterologists; hepatologists; pulmonologists; nephrologists; cardiologists; and endocrinologists. It will also be of interest to sociologists, psychologists, research workers, and to all health professionals whose combined efforts will improve the prognosis of transplant recipients.
