Association between chronic kidney dysfunction and the complexity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the association between chronic kidney dysfunction and the complexity of coronary artery disease in elderly patients.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 1380 consecutive patients underwent coronary angiography for the first time in our hospital and with angiographically diagnosed coronary artery disease from January 2011 to June 2012.The complexity of coronary artery disease were classified according to the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) grading system as types A,B1,B2,and C.Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated by the simplified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease(MDRD)equation.Patients were classified into 3 stages according to eGFR as followsnormal renalfunction(n=234,eGFR≥90 ml· min-1 · 1.73 m-2),mild renaldysfunction(n=881,60≤eGFR＜90 ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2,and moderate or severe renaldysfunction(n=265,eGFR＜60ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2).Ordinal logistic regression was used to analyze the association between chronic kidney dysfunction and the complexity of coronary artery disease.Results Patients with mild,moderate or severe renal dysfunction were older (F=56.82,P＜0.001),more predominantly female (x2 =66.29,P＜ 0.001) and more likely to have history of hypertension (x2 =17.57,P ＜ 0.001),diabetes (x2=20.97,P＜0.001) and hyperlipidemia (x2=10.48,P 0.005) than those with normal renal function.The percentage of lesions of types B2 or C in moderate or severe renal dysfunction group was higher than that in normal renal function group (x2=175.03,P＜0.001).The ordinal logistic regression showed that age,male,hypertension,diabetes,C-reactive protein and eGFR were independent risk factors for the ACC/AHA lesion classification.Conclusions Age,male,hypertension,diabetes,C-reactive protein and eGFR are independent risk factors for the complexity of coronary artery disease.
