Zusammenfassung
Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) increases risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), and different equations for estimating kidney function on CHD are available. Our aim was to describe the prognostic value of CKD as defined by various creatinine- (Cr-eGFR) and cystatin C-based (Cys-eGFR) estimating equations and their combinations on subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients with CHD. Material and Methods: All patients with CHD aged 30 to 70 years and participating in an in-hospital rehabilitation program between 01/1999 and 05/2000 were enrolled. In all patients, active follow-up was conduc…
