Abstract
Association between angiographic coronary artery disease and cardiac troponin T levels has been observed in patients with normal kidney function; however, this association remains unsettled in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Over a 12-month period we retrospectively reviewed coronary angiograms (CAs) performed in 194 hospitalized patients with presumed acute myocardial injury. About 50% of the ESRD and 30% of the CKD patients had normal CAs. Troponin T levels significantly correlated with CAs in patients with normal kidney function (r = 0.4, p = 0.005) but not in ESRD and CKD patients (r = 0.2, p = NS, respectively).Entities:
