“…For patients aged 60 to 74 yr, the projected lifespan while being on the wait list for a transplant is 6 yr, whereas it is 10 yr for those with a transplanted kidney (22). Quality of life is also significantly better in transplanted patients compared with patients on the wait list among the elderly (21,23).…”

In societies where donors for renal transplantation are in short supply and renal transplantation programs are under public and regulatory scrutiny and funding pressure to optimize outcomes of renal transplantation, safe, effective, and well tolerated risk stratification with regadenoson SPECT MPI can be predicted to continue to grow.…”
