Article Synopsis
- About 40% of patients with acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) don't show typical STEMI signs, leading to delayed treatment and higher health risks.
- The study examined 334 patients at a hospital in Albania to understand the differences between STEMI and NSTEMI cases and the impact of late revascularization for NSTEMI-OMI patients.
- Of the participants, 29.3% were NSTEMI-OMI; 40% of OMI patients didn't meet STEMI criteria, with a significant difference in timely PCI (only 11% of STEMI(-)OMI vs. 77% of STEMI(+)OMI).
Aim: This study aimed to study contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or more recent nomenclature contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary procedures, evaluating CIN incidence, risk factors (RFs), and high-risk patients with CIN. Methods: This is a prospective, observational, unicentric trial of patients who underwent coronary angiography and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the University Hospital Center (UHC) "Mother Teresa" in Tirana, Albania, during 2016-2018. CIN was defined as an increase of 25% and/or by 0.
