Abstract
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify useful predictors of cardiac events in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). METHODS: Among 4,031 patients identified from the Japanese Assessment of Cardiac Events and Survival Study (J-ACCESS) database with suspected or known ischaemic heart disease, we selected 820 with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of < 60 ml/min per 1.73 m(2). RESULTS: A total of 75 cardiac events developed among these 820 patients. The incidence of cardiac events was higher in the group with a lower eGFR. Multivariate Cox analysis indicated that age, diabetes mellitus, end-systolic volume, summed stress score (SSS) and eGFR were predictors of cardiac events. Event rates of patients with SSS >or= 9 were significantly higher in groups with lower eGFR values (< 40 and 40-49 ml/min). CONCLUSION: The SSS value (>or= 9) is a reliable predictor of cardiac events and myocardial single photon emission computed tomography has incremental value for predicting cardiac events and survival in CKD.
