We assessed the relationship between contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) and SYNTAX score (SS) and serum uric acid (SUA) levels in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A total of 835 STEMI patients in whom primary percutaneous coronary intervention was performed in our cardiology clinic were included in this study (615 male, 220 female; mean age 58.1 ± 12.2 years). The patients were divided into 2 groups (CIN and non-CIN). Contrast-induced nephropathy was observed in 9.6% (80) of patients; SS (13.9 ± 6.2/22.1 ± 5.8) and SUA (5.1 ± 0.9/6.2 ± 0.9) values in the CIN group were higher compared with the non-CIN group (P < .001, for all). All SS (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.136-1.250, P = .001), SUA (95% CI = 1.877-3.236, P = .002), and diabetes (95% CI = 0.998-1.039, P = .026) were independent predictors of CIN in logistic regression analysis. Procedures that can prevent CIN may be beneficial in patients at high risk as identified by the SS and SUA levels.

Background: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is an adverse renal event that occurs following the administration of contrast media for diagnostic procedures or therapeutic angiographic intervention. Nevertheless, there is currently no efficacious and safe agents for the treatment of CIN, except for hydration. We aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to verify the potential nephroprotective role of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2is) in the prevention of CIN.

Background: Triple rule-out computed tomography angiography (CTA) provides imaging of the coronary arteries, pulmonary arteries, and thoracic aorta filled with contrast material (CM) to exclude or diagnose the pathologies of these three systems. Although dual rule-out adapted to exclude aortic and pulmonary pathologies. Iodinated CM may result in contrast-induced nephropathy, which lengthens hospital stay.

Background: Subclinical leaflet thrombosis (SLT) is a common complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). Multidimensional CT (MDCT) is the main imaging mortality for the diagnosis of SLT but it enhances the risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. Our study aimed to use an innovative wearable acoustic cardiography (ACG) device to diagnose SLT as an alternative option.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel coronary artery disease, the optimal management strategy for non-culprit lesions is a subject of ongoing debate. There has been an increasing use of physiology-guidance to assess the extent of occlusion in non-culprit lesions, and hence the need for stenting. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is commonly used as a technique.

Background: Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is a known complication after coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Clinical evidence suggests that trimetazidine (TMZ), an anti-ischemic drug, may prevent CI-AKI. We aimed to evaluate the role of trimetazidine in preventing CI-AKI in patients with pre-existing renal dysfunction undergoing CAG or PCI.
