Figure 4.

Flowchart demonstrating the crude proportions of individuals receiving invasive management by ACS type and CKD status. People with CKD are less likely to receive either invasive coronary angiography or revascularization (of any form) following ACS, than those without kidney disease. In this figure, invasive coronary angiography and revascularization are portrayed as distinct steps, however in clinical practice, angiography is typically associated with immediate revascularization in STEMI. ACS: acute coronary syndrome; CABG: coronary artery bypass graft; CKD: chronic kidney disease; NSTE-ACS: non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; STEMI: ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
