ABSTRACT
<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>Patients with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (ARAS) are in substantial risk of cardiovascular adverse events. We investigated whether myocardial infarction patients with ARAS are in additional risk of cardiovascular events.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this retrospective study, 257 patients with type 1 myocardial infarction were enrolled. Median follow-up was 42 months. Composite endpoint events are analyzed by definitions of ARAS as ≥ 50% or ≥ 70% diameter stenosis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Defining ARAS as ≥ 70% diameter stenosis, ARAS was a significant predictor for composite endpoint events including death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke and intracranial haemorrhage, rehospitalisation for cardiac failure (HR 4.381; 95% CI 1.770-10.842) by Cox regression analysis, but not for death. Diabetes mellitus was also a significant predictor for composite endpoint events (HR 2.756; 95% CI 1.295-5.863). However, defining ARAS ≥ 50% diameter stenosis, ARAS was no longer a significant predictor for composite endpoint events or death.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Although not associated with mortality, ARAS ≥ 70% is associated with major adverse cardiac events after acute myocardial infarction. For prognosis, ≥ 70% diameter stenosis is a more appropriate criteria for ARAS definition than ≥ 50% diameter stenosis.</p>
