Risk Factors Associated With New-Onset Myocardial Perfusion Abnormalities in Kidney Transplant Candidates.

The optimal coronary artery disease surveillance strategy for end-stage renal disease patients being evaluated for kidney transplantation is unknown. It is unclear what risk factors are associated with the development of new-onset perfusion abnormalities on serial myocardial perfusion imaging. Potential kidney transplant recipients who underwent 2 myocardial perfusion imaging studies at Emory University Hospital between January 2010 and December 2019 were identified.
