Elevated cystatin-C levels are associated with increased mortality in acute coronary syndrome patients: An HIJ-PROPER Sub-Analysis

Background and aims: We investigated the association between serum cystatin-C levels and cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Methods: Data of 1,100 patients from the prospective parent study were included. Patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome were divided into four groups based on quartiles (Q) of cystatin-C levels (mg/L) within 24-hours of admission: Q1, ≤0.82; Q2, 0.82
