Prognostic Value of Demand Stress Real-Time Perfusion Imaging in Patients With Advanced Kidney Disease Undergoing Renal Transplantation

Cardiovascular disease accounts for 50% to 60% of all deaths in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) [(1)][1]. By adding myocardial perfusion (MP) imaging to wall motion (WM) analysis, real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (RTMCE) increases the diagnostic sensitivity and prognostic
