CANADIAN-AUSTRALASIAN RANDOMISED TRIAL OF SCREENING KIDNEY TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES FOR CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Recruiting
The current study is designed to determine which strategy (regular screening or screening only in the presence of symptoms) is more effective in preventing heart attacks in kidney transplant candidates. Another goal of the study is to determine whether biomarker tests are able to predict the need for regular CAD screening tests.
