Could Calcium Score Serve as a Screening Tool to Rule Out Significant Coronary Artery Stenosis in Pre-liver and Pre-renal Transplant Patients?

Our study shows that CACS can accurately predict SCAS in a large proportion of pre-kidney and liver transplant patients with intermediate or high risk of coronary artery disease. CACS can be considered as a screening tool to identify patients with low likelihood of SCAS, who might not require CCTA, as well as those with a high likelihood in whom a proactive approach should be considered.

Abstract

Our study shows that CACS can accurately predict SCAS in a large proportion of pre-kidney and liver transplant patients with intermediate or high risk of coronary artery disease. CACS can be considered as a screening tool to identify patients with low likelihood of SCAS, who might not require CCTA, as well as those with a high likelihood in whom a proactive approach should be considered.
