Key result
Decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of significant coronary artery disease and lesion complexity (P = .001).
Why the study?
Does chronic kidney disease stage predict coronary lesion morphology and complexity in patients with established coronary artery disease?
Observational (n=264)
Does chronic kidney disease stage predict coronary lesion morphology and complexity in patients with established coronary artery disease?
p-value: p=.001
Decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is significantly associated with increased coronary lesion complexity and more severe coronary obstruction in patients with established CAD.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Should not yet change CAD assessment by CKD stage; leaves open eGFR's added predictive value for lesion complexity.
Kılıçkesmez et al. (2009) conducted an observational in Coronary artery disease (n=264). Chronic kidney disease stage (eGFR) vs. Normal renal function or mild decrease in GFR was evaluated on Likelihood of significant coronary artery disease and lesion complexity (p=.001). Decreasing estimated glomerular filtration rate was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of significant coronary artery disease and lesion complexity (P = .001).
