Cardiac risk assessment before kidney transplantation has become widely accepted.
However, the optimal patient selection and screening tool for cardiac assessment remain …

Cardiac evaluation of liver and kidney transplant candidates requires a global assessment
for both short and long-term risk for cardiac events. Imaging of cardiac structure and function …

Background There are limited data on the prognostic utility of regadenoson SPECT
myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) …

Background Kidney transplantation provides substantial benefits in extending survival and
improving quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The incidence of …

Abstract In 2019, the Journal of Nuclear Cardiology published excellent articles pertaining to
imaging in patients with cardiovascular disease. In this review, we will summarize a …

Background Although heart rate response (HRR) to regadenoson stress has been shown to
be a strong predictor of outcome, it has not been investigated in a large all-comers cohort …

Background The impact of end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) on peripheral vascular
intervention (PVI) outcome remains incompletely elucidated. Objectives We sought to …

Background Vasodilator stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is the provocative test of
choice in patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB) or ventricular paced (V-paced) …

Background The prognostic implications of ST-segment and T-wave (ST/T) abnormalities in
patients undergoing stress SPECT-myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) are not well defined …

Background Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is associated with increased risk of major
adverse cardiac events. We hypothesized that MAC, identified on a pretransplant …
