Cardiovascular risk with SCORE system in patients with different degree of renal function impairment.

A risk prediction system, Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation, that is based on European studies has been developed and recommended to define absolute 10-year risk of a fatal cardiovascular event and mortality. The aim of the study was to compare cardiovascular risk calculated with SCORE system at patients with different degree of renal impairment. The study included 90 patients divided in 4 groups: 1st group=30 patients without renal failure, 2nd group=25 patients with CRF in predialysis stage, 3rd group=19 hemodialysis non-diabetic patients and 4th group=16 hemodialysis diabetics patients.
