Renal Function and Risk Stratification of Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients Undergoing Evaluation for Coronary Artery Disease

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of renal function by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on risk stratification of diabetic and nondiabetic patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single-photon emission computed tomography for suspected ischemia....

Description
Summary:Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of renal function by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on risk stratification of diabetic and nondiabetic patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) by single-photon emission computed tomography for suspected ischemia. Background Coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death among diabetic persons; however, diabetic persons are a very heterogeneous group in terms of cardiovascular risk, necessitating further risk stratification. Methods Patients (n = 1,747, age 65 ± 10 years, 37% diabetic) undergoing MPI were followed for cardiac death (CD) for a mean of 2.15 ± 0.8 years. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) was defined by an eGFR
