Aim. The aim of the study is to evaluate important additional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during the first 30 days after index event. Materials and methods. Overall 750 patients with ACS were enrolled in the single center prospective registry from 2012-2015yy. 569 patients received dual antiplatelet therapy and in 425 cases platelet function testing (PFT) were performed. Most of the patients characterized as high risk elderly patients with multiple CV risk factors and high comorbidity index. Results. At 30-day follow-up the mortality rate was 10,1%. Singlevariate analysis showed strong association between MACE and age, atrial fibrillation, stroke, chronic kidney disease, low ejection fraction, type 2 myocardial infarction (T2MI). Multivariate analysis showed that high-on-treatment platelet reactivity (PFT> 45%) with odds ratio 4.418 (p=0.0001), chronic kidney disease (OR 6.538 p=0.001) and T2MI (OR 1.925 p=0.0001) were significantly associated with adverse outcome. Conclusion. ACS registry showed high mortality level in real-life practice compared with randomized clinical trials due to the high prevalence of elderly patients with high comorbidity index. Patients with T2MI have significantly more severe prognosis and chronic kidney disease associated with increased MACE. PFT in this category of patients is reasonable for more accurate risk stratification.

Chronic kidney diseases and cardiovascular diseases have several common risk factors like hypertension and diabetes. In chronic renal disease stroke risk is several times higher than in the average population. The combination of classical risk factors and those characteristic of chronic kidney disease might explain this increased risk. Among acute cerebrovascular diseases intracerebral hemorrhages are more frequent than in those with normal kidney function. The outcome of stroke is worse in chronic kidney disease. The treatment of stroke (thrombolysis, antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment, statins, etc.) is an area of clinical research in this patient group. There are no reliable data on the application of thrombolysis in acute stroke in patients with chronic renal disease. Aspirin might be administered. Carefulness, individual considerations and lower doses might be appropriate when using other treatments. The condition of the kidney as well as other associated diseases should be considered during administration of antihypertensive and lipid lowering medications.
