History of Changes
  Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if a sizable myocardial infarction (heart attack) results in negative changes to renal structure and function (i.e. has a negative impact on the kidneys).

To determine if the renal response to a myocardial infarction is a predictor of the patients future health.


Condition
Myocardial Infarction
Kidney Function

Groups/Cohorts
Group 1 - Control
Non-Q wave MI subjects with normal cardiac and renal function (defined as eGFR >60ml/min) not undergoing a cardiac procedure involving contrast will serve as "control" for renal injury subjects.
Group 2 - stable CAD or non-Q wave MI
Patients undergoing coronary angiography +/- PCI for stable CAD or non-Q wave MI with normal cardiac and renal function (defined as eGFR >60ml/min) will control for the contrast STEMI patients are likely to receive as part of their post-MI management
Group 3 - Acute STEMI without chronic kidney disease
Acute STEMI patients (n=40), without chronic kidney disease (defined as eGFR ≥60ml/min).
Group 4 - Acute STEMI with kidney disease
Acute STEMI patients (n=40), with evidence of background chronic kidney disease (eGFR <60ml/min).

Detailed Description:

Chronic heart and kidney disease are increasingly common in Western society. Both conditions are associated with frequent hospitalisation and increased mortality. Furthermore, there are mechanistic reasons why one condition may beget the other; the so-called "cardiorenal syndrome". The investigators therefore wish to determine if a sizable myocardial infarction (heart attack) results in negative changes to renal structure and function (i.e. has a negative impact on the kidneys). The investigators also wish to determine if the renal response to a myocardial infarction is a predictor of the patients future health. To do this the investigators will measure markers of kidney function at the time of the heart attach, at discharge, 1 month, 6 months and 12 months and correlate this with the patients clinical condition.
