Whether acute kidney injury is an independent predictor of long-term mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction is a matter of controversy,2 since it is usually a transient condition and tends to occur in patients with higher age and more extensive myocardial infarctions, along with many other comorbidities that may also be associated with outcome. The authors adjusted their results for several variables, including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), which has been shown to be a strong predictor of long-term survival after an acute myocardial infarction.3- 4
