Abstract
The assessment of coronary flow reserve (CFR) by trans-thoracic echocardiography has
recently been introduced into clinical studies. Impairment of coronary microvascular
functions and decreased CFR detected by trans-thoracic Doppler harmonic echocardiography
(TTDE) has recently been reported in hemodialysis (HD) patients, but there is no comparative
study between HD patients and renal transplant recipients.
