3 Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier 5-year and 10-year survival for patients undergoing heart transplant alone (HTA; solid line) vs simultaneous heart-kidney transplant (SHK; dashed line) in patients with (A) a preoperative glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or more, (B) a preoperative GFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at low risk for postoperative new-onset dialysis, (C) a preoperative GFR of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at high risk for postoperative new-onset dialysis, or (D) dialysis before transplantation.
