Prognostic impact of renal dysfunction in patients with acute coronary syndrome-role beyond the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score: Data from Taiwan acute coronary syndrome full spectrum registry.
CHA2 DS2 -VASc score has been proven to have great prognostic value in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We aimed to determine whether the addition of renal dysfunction in the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score would improve the prognostic impact of the scoring system to predict prognosis among ACS patients. ⋯ Renal dysfunction is a significant risk factor of future adverse events in ACS patients and may improve the prognostic impact of the CHA2 DS2 -VASc score.
