Explained and unexplained ischemic heart disease risk after renal transplantation

Whether the high incidence of ischemic heart disease (IHD) among renal transplant patients
can be attributed to the same risk factors that have been identified in the general population
is unclear. The risk for major IHD events occurring> 1 yr after transplantation among 1124
transplant recipients was estimated by using the risk calculated from the Framingham Heart
Study (FHS). The FHS risk predicted IHD (relative risk, 1.28; 95% confidence interval, 1.20 to
1.40; P< 0.001); however, the FHS risk tended to underestimate the risk of IHD for renal …
