title: [Chronic kidney disease and myocardial infarction: epidemiological, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics (about 231 cases)].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study the epidemiologic, clinical, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics of the myocardial infarction (MI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To identify the impact of CKD in hospital, mid- and long-term survival after myocardial infarction. To determine the predictive factors of hospital and midterm MACCE in patients with CKD.
  
  
  METHODS
  The study population was 231 patients with a myocardial infarction admitted alive from January 2005 to December 2006. The population was divided into two groups. Group 1: glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥60 ml/min: 112 patients; group 2: GFR<60 ml/min: 119 patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Patients with CKD had more history of stroke and arterial hypertension. They had received less medical therapies and urgent reperfusion. In multivariate analysis, CKD was a predictive factor of hospital (P=0.016), at 6 months (P=0.003), at 1 year (P=0.004) and at 2 years MACCE (P=0,015). The predictive factors of hospital MACCE in group 2 were: use of vasopressors (P=0.001) and primary angioplasty (P=0.043). In patients with CKD, only surgical coronary revascularization was MACCE predictive factor (P=0.03).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Baseline renal function is a powerful predictor of short- and long-term events after myocardial infarction. Our results confirm the need to include the renal function in the evaluation of the level of risk among patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction.
