Clinical features and settings Clinical features
• CKD patients in haemodialysis programs referred for kidney coronary
angiography as part of a kidney transplant evaluation. The clinical indication for
coronary angiography was based on the fact that the patients belonged to the group
under high risk for CAD either due to symptoms and/or previous invasive exams that
would lead to a suspicion of CVD.
Setting
• Instituto do Coração (InCor) do Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina
da Universidade de São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.

Participants • Number: 97
• DM: 38%
• Angina pectoris or IHD: 29%
• Hypertension: 90%
• Sex: 65% male

Study design Cohort study.
