Objective

Renal dysfunction is associated with higher mortality rate in various cardiovascular events, including acute coronary syndrome. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of renal dysfunction in mortality rate of patients with acute coronary syndrome.

Methods

This retrospective cohort study performed between 2011 and 2014 included 676 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, including unstable angina and ST and non-ST segment elevation acute myocardial infarction. The creatinine clearance rate (CrCl) was estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula and the patients were divided into three groups based on CrCl during admission: 1) normal renal function (CrCl: >60ml/min ); 2) moderate renal dysfunction (CrCl: 30–60 ml/min); and 3) severe renal dysfunction (CrCl: < 30 ml/min).
