Abstract
Nondialysis-dependent CKD patients have impaired cardiac BRS, and this was related to decreasing GFR. There was a trend toward poorer prognosis in patients with impaired cardiac BRS that requires further study. Cardiac BRS may provide a simple, bedside, noninvasive assessment of overall cardiovascular risk in this population.
