Summary

This study reviewed medical records of 139 people with advanced chronic kidney disease who had a heart attack. Researchers wanted to see if getting a coronary angiogram (a special heart X-ray) early after the heart attack helped them live longer and delayed the need for dialysis. The study found that early angiography was linked to better survival and a longer time before starting dialysis.
