Description
Summary:•Cardiac testing of candidates for liver transplant requires balancing risks and benefits of cardiac procedures.•Framingham Score is a simple algorithm to optimize risk stratification for coronary artery disease before liver transplant.•Patients with Framingham Score ≥35% are triaged toward cardiac catheterization as initial test of coronary artery disease; those with Framingham Score 30 years of age with normal echocardiogram underwent FS calculation. Elevated FS (≥35%) patients were triaged to undergo angiogram for CAD evaluation; FS
