Does renal dysfunction at admission predict 6-year mortality in patients following STEMI with varying degrees of left ventricular systolic function?
Renal dysfunction at admission independently predicts long-term mortality in STEMI patients specifically when accompanied by moderately or severely impaired left ventricular systolic function.
