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 Angiography With Multislice Computed Tomography
Echocardiography allows visualization of the origin of the coronary arteries and their proximal trajectory but evaluation of the middle and distal portions of these vessels is limited. Invasive coronary angiography is currently the procedure of choice to evaluate coronary anatomy.

Prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease among patients with a zero calcium score
Background and objective: Coronary artery calcium is a specific indicator of and an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, calcium scoring may miss non calcified plaques, which were indicated to be of clinical importance.

Prognostic durability of coronary computed tomography angiography
Abstract Aims This large prospective cohort study sought to confirm the incremental prognostic value of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) measured over a prolonged follow-up duration. CCTA has diagnostic and prognostic value but data supporting its long-term prognostic value in a large
