Most Important Prognostic Values to Predict Major Adverse Cardiovascular, Cerebrovascular, and Renal Events in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Including Hemodialysis for 2 Years

: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events. The aim of this study is to clarify whether stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) could predict cardiovascular/cerebrovascular events. In the Gunma-CKD SPECT Study, a multicenter prospective cohort trial, 311 patients with CKD (estimated glomerular filtration rate 12 g (log-rank, p = 0.0036), and a summed stress score 12 g (log-rank, p = 0.0023). Myocardial perfusion SPECT parameters as well as renal anemia and DM can be reliable prognostic markers in patients with CKD including hemodialysis.
