• To examine the ability of DSE with RTCE and coronary CTA to detect anatomically significant CAD as defined by invasive angiography in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients [ Time Frame: One year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  

• To identify which of these tests is most predictive of patient outcome [ Time Frame: 3 years ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  

Primary: To examine the ability of dobutamine stress dobutamine stress echocardiography with real time perfusion (DSE with RTCE) and coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) to detect anatomically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) as defined by quantitative coronary angiography in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients Secondary: To identify which of these tests is most predictive of patient outcomes.

This will be a pilot study enrolling 75 participants. This is based off obtaining 80% power and a 90% rectangular confidence region for sensitivity and specificity using one-sided confidence limits, this corresponds to two 95% univariate confidence intervals (one for sensitivity and one for specificity). With 73 patients screened in total there will be 80% power to form a 90% rectangular confidence region around 90% sensitivity and 90% specificity, excluding sensitivities less than 69% and specificities less than 73%. We believe the sensitivities and specificities of both DSE with RTCE and cCTA will be within these confidence regions.
