Acute myocardial infarction in young adults with chronic kidney disease

Conclusion Presence of CKD was associated with 3.6-fold higher mortality over a median follow-up of 7.2 years. A lower proportion of CKD patients were treated with statin therapy and P2Y12 inhibitors. These findings highlight the need for intensive risk factor modification and optimal use of guideline-directed medical therapies in this high-risk population.
