A member asked:
Can someone have a heart attack after they have had a kidney transplant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CARDIAC CONCERN: Absolutely. Being a transplant recipient does not impact your cardiac risk directly, however many kidney transplants are the result of kidney disease that is linked to cardiovascular disease, which does increase your risk of heart attack.
