Combined Impact of Age and Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate on In-Hospital Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction (from the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry)
Age and chronic kidney disease are major risk factors for poor cardiovascular outcome; however, renal function is often estimated on the basis of serum creatinine levels, and advanced renal impairment may be hidden behind near normal creatinine levels. We assessed the impact of estimated glomerular...

Zusammenfassung: | Age and chronic kidney disease are major risk factors for poor cardiovascular outcome; however, renal function is often estimated on the basis of serum creatinine levels, and advanced renal impairment may be hidden behind near normal creatinine levels. We assessed the impact of estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) on in-hospital mortality in young ( |
