Zusammenfassung:Background/Aims: Renal dysfunction is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The aim of this study was to investigate the independent prognostic value of renal dysfunction and its incremental predictability risk after adjusting for well-known clinical factors in patients with AMI. Methods: 751 consecutive patients with AMI admitted to the Coronary Care Unit (CCU) were included. Patients were grouped into 2 categories according to the baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on admission (eGFR
