| Popis: | Background: While chronic renal damage is a condition with low-grade inflammation, the potential role of inflammation in kidney disease as a marker of cardiovascular damage is of current interest. This study analyzed the relationship between renal dysfunction, chronic inflammation, and extension of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods: This retrospective study was carried out on consecutive patients presenting with NSTEMI to Maggiore Hospital’s emergency department between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2011. Patients’ electronic charts were reviewed to gather information on patients’ history, clinical and biochemical variables, with a special focus on inflammatory markers, coronary vessel damage, and drug treatments. Results: Of the 320 individuals in the study population, 138 (43.1%) had an admission GFR |
