Purpose: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is one of the common serious complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This study aimed to assess the significance of noncontrast strategy in the setting of ACS.
Methods: CI-AKI was defined as an increase in serum creatinine of ?0.
Article Synopsis
- Central hypovolemia triggers enhanced left ventricular (LV) untwisting as a way to compensate for reduced stroke volume during orthostatic stress.
- This compensatory mechanism helps maintain heart function when blood flow to the heart is diminished while standing up.
- Both athletes and those with low fitness may experience orthostatic intolerance because their LV untwisting does not respond effectively to central hypovolemia.
Background: Anemia has been recognized as an important comorbidity in patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and is associated with adverse clinical events. However, the clinical impact of red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in such patients is unclear.
Method: This study was a retrospective single-center registry including AHF patients admitted to Kyorin University Hospital between 2007 and 2014.
