Limited value of cystatin-C over estimated glomerular filtration rate for heart failure risk stratification.

<h4>Background</h4>To compare the prognostic value of estimated glomerular filtration rate, cystatin-C, an alternative renal biomarker, and their combination, in an outpatient population with heart failure. Estimated glomerular filtration rate is routinely used to assess renal function i...

The etiology of heart failure was mainly ischemic heart disease (52.7%). The left ventricular ejection fraction was 34% (P(25-75) 26-43%). Most patients were New York Heart Association class II (65.8%) or III (25.9%). During a median follow-up of 3.46 years (P(25-75) 1.85-5.05), 312 deaths were recorded.
