Long-term prognostic impact of cystatin c on acute coronary syndrome octogenarians with diabetes mellitus

Abstract: ObjectiveCystatin C (Cys C) is a marker of renal dysfunction. Prior studies have shown that blood Cys C is related to the prognosis of coronary heart disease. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the long-term prognostic impact of Cys C on acute coronary syndrome (ACS) octogenarians with diabetes mellitus (DM).MethodsWe enrolled 660 consecutive ACS octogenarians who underwent coronary angiography and were classified into two groups based on diabetes. The baseline characters and Cys C level were measure… Show more

“…Old age and DM are both independent risk factors for ACS. It is reported that about 75% of patients hospitalized for CHD are associated with abnormal glucose metabolism, and the degree of coronary artery lesions is relatively severe [3,4]. Persistent hyperglycemia in patients results in disorders of platelet structure and function, enhances aggregation and adhesion of platelets, and increases the risk of thrombosis [5].…”
