Clinical SYNTAX Score - a good predictor for renal artery stenosis in acute myocardial infarction patients: analysis from the REN-ACS trial.

CONCLUSIONS: Both scores correlated with extensive atherosclerotic disease and presence of RAS+. A lower CSS proved to be a good predictor for exclusion of RAS+, with high specificity (85%) and negative predictive value (92%), and fair sensitivity (60%). We aim to further pursue this line of research and design a better predictor for RAS, with the inclusion of a novel biomarker in order to increase sensitivity. PMID: 28721152 [PubMed]
