Usefulness of creatinine clearance in predicting early and late death after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction

We examined the effect of baseline renal function on clinical outcome after primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction. Patients with a creatine clearance of less than or equal to 75 ml/min at admission had a high incidence of major adverse cardiac events and death at one year.
