Data are median (IQR) mmol/L, median (IQR) mL/min, median (IQR) g/dL, median (IQR) ng/L or number (%) of patients.
Group 1: patients with CRS; group 2: patients with normal renal function.
AHF, acute heart failure; AVB, atrioventricular block; BNP, brain natriuretic peptide; CRS, cardiorenal syndrome; LBBB, left bundle branch block; RBBB, right bundle branch block.
