Why the study?
Is coronary microvascular dysfunction associated with abnormal cardiac mechanics and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney impairment without overt coronary artery disease?
Is coronary microvascular dysfunction associated with abnormal cardiac mechanics and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney impairment without overt coronary artery disease?
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Coronary microvascular dysfunction may mediate the effect of chronic kidney disease on abnormal cardiac function and cardiovascular events in patients without overt CAD.
Coronary microvascular dysfunction, but not eGFR, was independently associated with abnormal cardiac mechanics and an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Coronary microvascular dysfunction may mediate the effect of chronic kidney disease on abnormal cardiac function and cardiovascular events in those without overt coronary artery disease.
