Type of dialysis may influence the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging in end stage renal disease: an observational [13N]NH3 PET/CT study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at 41 people with kidney failure who were waiting for a transplant. It used a special heart scan to check blood flow. The goal was to see if the scan works the same for people on different dialysis types. This is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
