Core Tip |
Transplant candidates on dialysis are more likely to be screened for heart disease than those not being considered for transplantation. Screening in this population is driven by complex and competing priorities. Clinicians have a duty both to the candidate’s survival and to allograft success. Few cardiovascular disease conditions detected by screening require immediate attention; there is a trade-off between the risks from a given procedure that are immediate and the benefits from that procedure which are more remote. It is important to clearly distinguish coronary artery disease from other cardiac conditions to help guide the selection of appropriate diagnostic strategies. |
