Abstract
Objectives: Although renal insufficiency is associated with high mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome, studies have often excluded patients of advanced age who have renal insufficiency. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between renal insufficiency and mortality predictors in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) who were aged 65 and older.
