Background: Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of death in dialysis patients, as well as in kidney transplant patients. Assessment of cardiovascular risks of renal transplant candidates to prevent or slow the progression of cardiovascular abệnh nhânormalities. Aim: 1) Evaluating cardiovascular risk factors, electrocardiographic and echocardiographic abnormalities in renal transplant candidates. 2) Identifying the correlation between cardiac morphological parameters with a number of factors involved. Subjects and Methods: We assessed 57 patients (73.7% male, mean age 32.4±8.8) with end-stage renal disease waiting for renal transplantation at Cho Ray Hospital between Jan 2012 and Jan 2013. All patients received a physical examination, blood pressure measurement, Hb, blood glucose test, lipid profile, ECG, echocardiography. Results: The percentage of hypertension was 98.2%, smoking (69.2%), dyslipidemia 40.4% and diabetes 12.3%. All patients had sinus rhythm, left ventricular hypertrophy 61.4% in ECG. Pericardial effusion 5.3%, mitral valve insufficiency 56.1%, aortic valve insufficiency 12.3%, left ventricular hypertrophy 94.7% in echocardiography. IVSd, LVPWd, LVMI positively correlated with kidney failure time (p <0.01, p<0.001), with DBP and SBP (p <0.05) and the degree of anemia (p <0.05). Percentage the degree of hypertension associated with proportion of left ventricular hypertrophy (p <0.05). Conclusions: Identification of cardiovascular risk factors for the prevention or intervention to reduce mortality in renal transplantation. Keywords: Cardiovascular risk factors, end-stage chronic renal failure, renal transplantation.
