ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome), CKD, Coronary Angiography (CAG)
Conditions
Brief summary
This is the retrospective study regarding the association of invasive coronary angiography and time to renal replacement therapy initiation and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease stage 4-5 who develop acute coronary syndrome.
Detailed description
