Modern cardiac imaging techniques may help risk stratify patients with chronic kidney disease to diagnose cardiac disease and potentially ease the burden of complications.

Does not support routine imaging adoption in CKD; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials.
Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent and it is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The implementation of various imaging modalities may help to risk stratify these patients with a potential ease on the burden of complications and the rising costs of care. In this article we review some of the modern imaging techniques to diagnose cardiac disease in patients affected by CKD.
