The effect of renal artery stenosis on the risk of vascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome

Purpose. To evaluate the effect of renal artery stenosis on the risk of vascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Material and Methods. The study included a total of 323 patients with acute coronary syndrome, 2і7 (67.i%) men, 106 (32.9%) women. The average age of the examined patients was 59.6±9.2 years. Results. Atherosclerotic lesions of the renal arteries, in addition to magnitude of EF or the size of la, RV, and the thickness of IVS, influenced the risk of non-fatal vascular events (х2=7.46, P =0.024, х2=7.37, P =0.025, х2=11,1, р=0.004, х2=9.52 , р=0.009, respectively). Also, the risk discussed was increased in case of a GFR increase after coronary angiography, х2=9.83, P=0.007. Conclusions. a model for predicting fatal and non-fatal vascular events, proposed in the the study, can be widely used in a comprehensive examination of patients with Acs and atherosclerotic lesions of the renal arteries.
