[In-hospital prognostic value of glomerular filtration rate in patients with acute coronary syndrome and a normal creatinine level].

Rev Esp Cardiol. 2007 Jul;60(7):714-9, PMID: 17663855

Kidney failure is more prevalent in patients with ischemic heart disease than in the general population. A high serum creatinine level is known to be a predictor of an adverse outcome in acute coronary syndrome. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical significance of the glomerular filtration rate in patients with acute coronary syndrome and a normal baseline creatinine level.
