Aiming to assess the relationships between renal function and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (MI) clinical course and remote outcomes in patients with preserved systolic left ventricular (LV) function (LV ejection fraction > 40%) estimated glomerular filtration rates (eGFR) were evaluated on 1st and 3rd -10th MI day (n = 491). On 3rd-10th day of MI in patients with acute heart failure (HF) symptoms on admission day (1st group, n = 153) eGFR < 70 ml/min x per body surface unit was independent marker of re-infarction (Hazzard Ratio (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) = 4,08 [1,72 -11,73], P < 0,01) and cardiovascular death (CVD) (HR [95% CI] = 3,61 [1,09 - 11,99], P = <0,05) during three years of follow-up. In patient without acute HF (2nd group, n = 338) eGFR < 68 ml/min was predictive of CVD within three years post-MI (HR [95% CI] = 7,13 [2,06 - 24,74], P = 0,002).
