Relationship Between Syntax Score and Cystatin C in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome

Abstract

Introduction: The SYNTAX (SYNergy between PCI with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) score (SS) is an angiographic scoring system to determine the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). As far as we know, studies examining the relationship between SYNTAX Score and Cystatin C (Cys-C) are limited in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between Cys-C level and SS in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Patients and Methods: One hundred ninety-two patients who underwent coronary angiography for STEMI between June 2021 and December 2021 in our center were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups according to their SS values: Group 1 included patients with SS
