Correlations of serum cystatin C and glomerular filtration rate with vascular lesions and severity in acute coronary syndrome.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Cardiovascular secondary preventive recommendations are often not reached. We investigated whether a nurse-led telephone-based follow-up could improve the implementation of a new guideline within a year after its release. METHODS:In February 2013, a new secondary preventive guideline for diabetic patients w...
