Early cardiovascular events and cardiovascular death after renal transplantation: role of pretransplant risk factors

ConclusionThe incidence of CV events and death were predicted by variables associated with myocardial ischemia, a potentially modifiable risk factor. Patients with pretransplantation myocardial ischemia should be considered at a higher risk of developing early CV complications and managed accordingly before, during, and after kidney transplantation.
