Room for improvement: diagnosing and managing acute coronary syndromes in persons with reduced eGFR

Kerry L Horne et al. Kidney Int. 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Cardiovascular events are the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease. A recent analysis from the High-Sensitivity Troponin in the Evaluation of Patients With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome trial focused on results in those with reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate. This commentary discusses aspects of acute coronary syndrome diagnosis in this group and the differential approach to acute coronary syndrome management that was observed between those with normal and reduced kidney function.
