Cardiovascular Risk Factors Accelerate Kidney Function Decline in Post-Myocardial Infarction Patients: The Alpha Omega Cohort Study.

In older, stable post-MI patients without cardiovascular risk factors, the annual kidney function decline was -0.90 (-1.16 to -0.65) ml/min per 1.73 m. In contrast, in post-MI patients with ≥3 cardiovascular risk factors, the annual kidney function decline was 2.5-fold faster, at -2.37 (-2.85 to -1.89) ml/min per 1.73 m.
