#3368 DIAGNOSTIC YIELD AND CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF SYSTEMATIC CARDIAC SCREENING OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES USING CARDIAC COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY

چکیده
Abstract Background and Aims Cardiovascular screening of kidney transplant candidates is currently recommended, although the patient value presently questioned. The prognostic ability known, whereas systematic may have less recognized effects such as incidental findings, triggering additional investigations, procedural complications, delay transplantation deselection patients for transplantation. To address this, we characterized diagnostic yield clinical implications cardiovascular disease using cardiac computed tomography (CT) in asymptomatic candidates. Method In a single-centre, observational study, included all potential ≥ 40 years or with diabetes on dialysis treatment 5 years, who were systematically referred to CT (a non-contrast enhanced scan coronary angiography) prior between March 2014 September 2019 North Central Denmark Regions. Patient records examined obtain data baseline characteristics, conference decisions. Results total, 473 underwent CT. programme led investigations 155 (33%) 7% revascularised. Thirty (6%) had significant non-vascular findings CT, but only 4 changed medical management based these findings. Furthermore, no rejected not yet dialysis, slope eGFR decline did change significantly after angiography. Conclusion significance by was limited, one third go through investigations. Few revascularised No evidence contrast-induced acceleration function observed.

current applications of coronary and cardiac multidetector computed tomography
cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world. several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease. of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...
متن کاملManagement of allosensitized cardiac transplant candidates.
Cardiac transplantation remains the best treatment in patients with advanced heart failure with a high risk of death. However, an inadequate supply of donor hearts decreases the likelihood of transplantation for many patients. Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are being increasingly used as a bridge to transplantation in patients who may not survive long enough to receive a heart. This expansio...
متن کاملControlled Cardiac Computed Tomography
Cardiac computed tomography (CT) has been a hot topic for years because of the clinical importance of cardiac diseases and the rapid evolution of CT systems. In this paper, we propose a novel strategy for controlled cardiac CT that may effectively reduce image artifacts due to cardiac and respiratory motions. Our approach is radically different from existing ones and is based on controlling the...

Primary cardiac tumors are infrequent, but their clinical presentation is variable and their associated mortality is high. By the time they produce symptoms and the diagnosis is made, they have usually progressed to a large mass causing considerable hemodynamic compromise. Although Doppler echocardiography is the usual technique for the initial diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging or computed ...
