Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary
artery disease (CAD) represent major causes of morbidity and
mortality worldwide. The aim of the current study is to
investigate the value of 2D-STE in assessing the abnormalities
in LV and LA function after anterior MI in patients with and
without CKD. Methods: This prospective, single-centre
cohort study was conducted on 200 patients aged more than
18 years diagnosed with anterior wall myocardial infarction
who were admitted to the coronary care unit at Benha
University Hospital in the duration from February 2023 to
January 2024. The study included 100 consecutive cases of
anterior STEMI and mild to moderate (stages 2-3) CKD and
were compared to 100 age and sex-matched cases of anterior
STEMI with normal GFR (≥90ml/min/1.73m2
). Results:
Regarding the echocardiographic findings, EF, LV-GLS,
LASr, LAScd, LASct, and TAPSE were significantly lower in
patients with CKD (P |
