Abstract:Background
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) are at increased risk for contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) than elective PCI procedures. Routine calculation of Mehran’s score is limited by its complexity and difficulty to memorize. This study evaluated CHA2DS2-VASc score predictive utility for CIN in STEMI patients before pPCI.
