Gender differences in the prognostic impact of chronic kidney disease in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction following ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention

Background/Aim: Renal function potentially has different prognostic impact in men and women with acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on five-year all-cause mortality in men and women with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) following ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Method: We included 348 consecutive STEMI patients who were treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) and had a left ventricular ejection fraction
