Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Coronary computed tomography angiography
Significant limitations exist for traditional noninvasive cardiac imaging with regard to equivocal or indeterminate findings that result in repetitive testing or unnecessary referral to invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Recent hardware and software advances in multislice computed tomography angiography have achieved high spatial and temporal ...

Tachycardia during Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography [PDF]
A 76-year-old woman underwent a coronary artery computed tomography angiography (CTA) to exclude coronary occlusive disease after a segmental inferoseptal hypokinesia was discovered at echocardiography in the workup for atypical chest pain. The patient has a body mass index of 40 kg/m2, a history of arterial hypertension, hyperlipidemia, hypothyroidism,
