Abstract Background Numerous studies have shown the association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and adverse cardiac events. We investigated whether or not the upright T-wave in lead aVR (TaVR) could predict left ventricular (LV) volume and function derived from ECG-gated SPECT in patients with advanced CKD. Methods Two hundred and sixty-one patients with advanced CKD [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 0 mV. Enlarged LV enddiastolic volume (LVEDV) was defined as LVEDV index of > 76 ml/m2 in men and > 57 ml/m2 in women. Reduced LV ejection fraction (LVEF) was defined as LVEF of
