IntroductionCardiovascular disease is a significant cause of mortality after kidney transplantation. Whether pre-transplant screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) in asymptomatic kidney transplant candidates (KTCs) is beneficial is unclear.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study evaluating post-transplant cardiovascular events in 192 high-risk KTCs who underwent pre-transplant CAD evaluation. The study aimed to identify risk factors associated with finding severe CAD on pre-transplant angiography, and to assess the relationship between screening strategies and post-transplant cardiovascular events.ResultsAt five years post-transplant, cardiovascular events occurred in 23.9% of subjects.
