Abstract

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is often present in patients presenting for kidney transplant listing. While PH can complicate kidney transplantation (KTx), it can be managed with multidisciplinary management that includes both the transplant center and pulmonary hypertension center, or with experts both pre- and post-transplant. This review summarizes the approach and management of PH in KTx candidates and recipients, along with expected outcomes and controversies surrounding arteriovenous fistula and graft management.

Abstract

IntroductionAccurate assessment of right ventricular (RV) systolic function has prognostic and therapeutic implications in many disease states. Echocardiography remains the most frequently deployed imaging modality for this purpose, but estimation of RV systolic function remains challenging. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a novel measurement of RV systolic function called lateral annular systolic excursion ratio (LASER), which is the fractional shortening of the lateral tricuspid annulus to apex distance, compared to right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF) derived by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR).MethodsA retrospective cohort of 78 consecutive patients who underwent clinically indicated CMR and transthoracic echocardiography within 30 days were identified from a database. Parameters of RV function measured included: tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) by M-mode, tissue Doppler S', fractional area change (FAC) and LASER. These measurements were compared to RVEF derived by CMR using Pearson's correlation coefficients and receiver operating characteristic curves.ResultsLASER was measurable in 75 (96%) of patients within the cohort. Right ventricular systolic dysfunction, by CMR measurement, was present in 37% (n = 29) of the population. LASER has moderate positive correlation with RVEF (r = 0.54) which was similar to FAC (r = 0.56), S' (r = 0.49) and TAPSE (r = 0.37). Receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrated that LASER (AUC = 0.865) outperformed fractional area change (AUC = 0.767), tissue Doppler S' (AUC = 0.744) and TAPSE (AUC = 0.645). A cohort derived dichotomous cutoff of 0.2 for LASER was shown to provide optimal diagnostic characteristics (sensitivity of 75%, specificity of 87% and accuracy of 83%) for identifying abnormal RV function. LASER had the highest sensitivity, accuracy, positive and negative predictive values among the parameters studied in the cohort.ConclusionsWithin the study cohort, LASER was shown to have moderate positive correlation with RVEF derived by CMR and more favorable diagnostic performance for detecting RV systolic dysfunction compared to conventional echocardiographic parameters while being simple to obtain and less dependent on image quality than FAC and emerging techniques.

Abstract

Coronary heart disease is an important source of mortality and morbidity among kidney transplantation and liver transplantation candidates and recipients and is driven by traditional and nontraditional risk factors related to end-stage organ disease. In this scientific statement, we review evidence from the past decade related to coronary heart disease screening and management for kidney and liver transplantation candidates. Coronary heart disease screening in asymptomatic kidney and liver transplantation candidates has not been demonstrated to improve outcomes but is common in practice. Risk stratification algorithms based on the presence or absence of clinical risk factors and physical performance have been proposed, but a high proportion of candidates still meet criteria for screening tests. We suggest new approaches to pretransplantation evaluation grounded on the presence or absence of known coronary heart disease and cardiac symptoms and emphasize multidisciplinary engagement, including involvement of a dedicated cardiologist. Noninvasive functional screening methods such as stress echocardiography and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy have limited accuracy, and newer noninvasive modalities, especially cardiac computed tomography-based tests, are promising alternatives. Emerging evidence such as results of the 2020 International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches-Chronic Kidney Disease trial emphasizes the vital importance of guideline-directed medical therapy in managing diagnosed coronary heart disease and further questions the value of revascularization among asymptomatic kidney transplantation candidates. Optimizing strategies to disseminate and implement best practices for medical management in the broader end-stage organ disease population should be prioritized to improve cardiovascular outcomes in these populations.

Abstract

Background Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary artery disease frequently undergo preemptive revascularization before kidney transplant listing. Objectives In this post hoc analysis from ISCHEMIA-CKD (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness of Medical and Invasive Approaches–Chronic Kidney Disease), we compared outcomes of patients not listed versus those listed according to management strategy. Methods In the ISCHEMIA-CKD trial (n = 777), 194 patients (25%) with chronic coronary syndromes and at least moderate ischemia were listed for transplant. The primary (all-cause mortality or nonfatal myocardial infarction) and secondary (death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, heart failure, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or stroke) outcomes were analyzed using Cox multivariable modeling. Heterogeneity of randomized treatment effect between listed versus not listed groups was assessed. Results Compared with those not listed, listed patients were younger (60 years vs 65 years), were less likely to be of Asian race (15% vs 29%), were more likely to be on dialysis (83% vs 44%), had fewer anginal symptoms, and were more likely to have coronary angiography and coronary revascularization irrespective of treatment assignment. Among patients assigned to an invasive strategy versus conservative strategy, the adjusted hazard ratios for the primary outcome were 0.91 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.54–1.54) and 1.03 (95% CI: 0.78–1.37) for those listed and not listed, respectively (pinteraction= 0.68). Adjusted hazard ratios for secondary outcomes were 0.89 (95% CI: 0.55–1.46) in listed and 1.17 (95% CI: 0.89–1.53) in those not listed (pinteraction = 0.35). Conclusions In ISCHEMIA-CKD, an invasive strategy in kidney transplant candidates did not improve outcomes compared with conservative management. These data do not support routine coronary angiography or revascularization in patients with advanced CKD and chronic coronary syndromes listed for transplant.

Abstract

Background Heart failure is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, yet patient risk stratification may be difficult. Prevention or treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) may be an important strategy in these patients that could positively affect their outcome. It has been demonstrated that in patients with systolic dysfunction, prolonged QRS duration (QRSd), an easily measured electrocardiographic parameter, is associated with AF. Hypothesis Prolonged QRSd is associated with an increase in prevalence of AF in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(HFPEF). Methods Between February 2006 and February 2009, 718 patients were discharged with a diagnosis of HF from the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center. Of these, 206 had EF ≥50% by echocardiography performed within 72 hours of admission. After exclusions, 82 patients remained, of which 25 had AF and 57 had sinus rhythm. Characteristics of the AF and sinus-rhythm patients were compared in this pilot study. Results After adjustment for age, prior diagnosis of HF, and left atrial area, there was a nonsignificant trend (odds ratio: 2.2, 95% CI of 0.3-17.2) for a QRSd >120 ms to be associated with AF. Conclusions Similar to results in patients with systolic dysfunction, patients with preserved EF may have an association between a prolonged QRSd and AF.

Abstract

Cardiorenal syndrome encompasses a spectrum of disorders involving both the heart and kidneys in which acute or chronic dysfunction in 1 organ may induce acute or chronic dysfunction in the other organ. It represents the confluence of heart-kidney interactions across several interfaces. These include the hemodynamic cross-talk between the failing heart and the response of the kidneys and vice versa, as well as alterations in neurohormonal markers and inflammatory molecular signatures characteristic of its clinical phenotypes. The mission of this scientific statement is to describe the epidemiology and pathogenesis of cardiorenal syndrome in the context of the continuously evolving nature of its clinicopathological description over the past decade. It also describes diagnostic and therapeutic strategies applicable to cardiorenal syndrome, summarizes cardiac-kidney interactions in special populations such as patients with diabetes mellitus and kidney transplant recipients, and emphasizes the role of palliative care in patients with cardiorenal syndrome. Finally, it outlines the need for a cardiorenal education track that will guide future cardiorenal trials and integrate the clinical and research needs of this important field in the future.

Abstract

From almost the time of the initial randomized controlled trials demonstrating a benefit to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in the early 2000s,1,2 clinicians, investigators, and industry have all been drawn to the concept that quantitative parameters derived from echocardiographic images might be a powerful tool to enhance patient selection. The need for a tool was magnified by the early observation that approximately one third of patients remain nonresponders despite implantation of a CRT device—an observation that remains mostly unchanged today. See Article by Delgado-Montero et al The task seemed simple at first: because CRT is designed to resynchronize the mechanical motion of the left ventricular (LV) walls, all one needs is a tool that can measure the degree of dyssynchrony—the patients with the most dyssynchrony should have the most to gain. The high temporal resolution available through M-mode seemed well suited to the task of measuring differences in timing, and some of the earliest reports demonstrated that in patients with a left bundle branch block, a simple parasternal long-axis view with a septal to posterior delay of ≥ 130 ms on M-mode was associated with an improved likelihood of response to CRT.3 Around this same time, there were significant advances in echocardiographic technology with tissue Doppler that applied Doppler principles to the low velocity of the LV walls (tissue). These quantitative tools display the change in speed or distance over time, allow for simultaneous sampling of multiple sites, have high frame rates with excellent temporal resolution (although an order of magnitude less than M-mode), and some vendors even created specialized software that would color-code the timing of cardiac events allowing for a snapshot of synchrony or dyssynchrony (tissue synchronization index; GE). These factors converged to contribute to an exponential rise in published research because investigators raced …

Abstract

The challenges inherent in conducting accurate, clinically effective, and cost-effective cardiac evaluations among transplantation candidates relate to the large size of the target population, the prevalence of disease, the limited number of donated organs, and the often extended waiting periods between initial evaluation and transplantation surgery. According to Organ Procurement and Transplant Network (OPTN) records, nearly 85 000 candidates were on the waiting list for kidney transplantation in 2010, and ≈17 700 kidney transplantations (including 828 kidney-pancreas transplantations) were performed.1 Also in 2010, 16 000 people were awaiting liver transplantation and 6000 received liver allografts.1 Marked shifts in the age composition of transplant waitlists toward older adults are also raising the average medical complexity and comorbidity burden among listed candidates. In 2011, 62% of kidney transplantation candidates were ≥50 years of age compared with 28.7% of kidney transplantation candidates in 1991.1 A similar shift in age distribution has occurred among liver transplantation candidates; now, 77% are ≥50 years of age.1 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with end-stage failure of noncardiac organs before and after transplantation. Estimates of the cumulative incidence of myocardial infarction (MI) based on Medicare billing claims have ranged from 8.7% to 16.7% by 3 years after kidney transplant listing and from 4.7% to 11.1% after kidney transplantation.2,3 Observational data suggest particularly high frequencies of cardiovascular events in the first months after kidney transplantation.2,4,5 Cardiovascular diseases in aggregate make up the most common cause of death in patients with functioning allografts at all times after kidney transplantation, accounting for 30% of mortality overall, with highest rates in the peritransplantation period.6 Guidelines and position papers by national organizations can serve as useful tools for informing cardiac evaluation practices before …

Abstract

Background. Early graft dysfunction is a significant complication after renal transplantation and is a marker of adverse outcomes. Although multiple predictors of graft dysfunction have been previously described, the reported prevalence of pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary HTN) in the dialysis population (40–50%), along with biologic and physiologic principles, led us to hypothesize that pulmonary HTN might be an additional risk factor for early graft dysfunction. Methods. We performed a retrospective study that screened all adult renal transplants performed at our institution over a 3-year period and limited the evaluation to those subjects who had an estimated pulmonary artery systolic pressure on a preoperative echocardiogram report (n = 55). The primary outcome of this study was to investigate the impact of pulmonary HTN on early graft dysfunction using a combined endpoint of delayed graft function or slow graft function. Results. Among patients receiving a living donor kidney, early graft dysfunction was not observed regardless of pulmonary HTN status. However, among patients receiving a deceased donor kidney, pulmonary HTN was found to be associated with a significant increased risk of early graft dysfunction (56 vs 11.7%, P = 0.01). Univariate and multivariable logistic regression supported this observation as an independent risk factor beyond potential confounding recipient, donor and graft-based risk factors for early graft dysfunction (P < 0.05). Conclusion. Pulmonary HTN detected on non-invasive imaging prior to renal transplantation appears to be an independent predictor of early graft dysfunction among those patients who receive a deceased donor kidney.
