More than 50% of our patients die from cardiovascular causes, most of them because of coronary disease. Nevertheless, it is clear that cardiovascular disease is undertreated and underdiagnosed in CKD/RRT patients. How should we diagnose coronary disease, how should we treat (medication, PCI with our without stent, CABG) and what is the outcome. Place of aspirin, statins, beta blocking agents. Should also include pre-TX cardiac investigations. A lecture by Ann Devriese.
