Abstract

To evaluate the association between renal dysfunction and long-term prognosis among middle-aged women surviving an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The Stockholm Female Coronary Risk Study included 291 women <66 years of age, hospitalized for an ACS during the years 1991-1994 in the greater Stockholm area. All patients underwent clinical screening for cardiovascular prognostic factors, including blood samples 3 to 6 months after the event. Creatinine clearance (CCr) was calculated using the Cockcroft-Gaults formula and related to adverse outcome. Hazard ratios (HR) for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively, in each tertile of CCr, were estimated using Cox proportional hazards regression. There were 40 deaths, including 23 from cardiovascular causes, during a median follow-up of 9 years. The unadjusted HRs for all-cause mortality for the 1st (CCr < 78 mL/min) and 2nd (CCr 78-96 mL/min) tertiles of CCr were 3.17 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.34-7.45) and 1.76 (95% CI 0.69-4.48), respectively, compared with the 3rd (CCr > 96 mL/min) tertile. The corresponding HRs for cardiovascular mortality were 3.66 (95% CI 1.20-11.1) and 1.28 (95% CI 0.34-4.76). After multivariable adjustment for potential confounders, the associ...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
