OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and accuracy of @entity452 / @entity3897 stress echocardiography (DASE) for the detection of @entity8 . METHODS: @entity1 candidates to renal transplant were submitted consecutively to DASE and coronary angiography. The adopted angiographic criteria for @entity453 were an obstructive lesion of > or = 50% and > or = 70%. RESULTS: 148 @entity1 underwent the DASE and the coronary angiography. Mean age was 52 +/- 9 years, 69% of the @entity1 were males; 27% had @entity2316 and 73% had LVH; 63% were asymptomatic; 36% and 22% presented coronary obstructions > or = 50% and 70%, respectively. The DASE performance was 91% and major complication rate was 2.7%. The sensibility, specificity and accuracy for the diagnosis of coronary obstruction > 50% were 53% (CI:45-61), 87% (CI:81-93), and 75% (CI:63-83) respectively. For coronary obstruction > or = 70% these values were, respectively, 71% (CI:64-92), 85% (CI:79-91) and 81% (CI:75-87). The sensibility to detect univessel and multivessel disease was 41% (CI:19-63) and 78% (CI:64-92), respectively. CONCLUSION: The DASE was practical and safe; however, it presented a poor result for the detection of @entity453 regarding obstructions > or = 50%. It can be a useful screening for the detection of @entity453 in candidates with obstructions > or = 70% and multivessel disease.
