Funded Activity Summary

Patients waitlisted for kidney transplantation are at increased risk of heart attack and routinely undergo tests every year to screen for heart disease. This may lead to excessive tests, inconvenience, cost and missed opportunities for transplantation. This randomised trial will determine whether such testing is necessary and what it costs to patients and the health system. The results will have implications for tens of thousands of patients worldwide.
