Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the predictive value of Shock Index-Creatinine Clearance (SI-C) for risk stratification contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Methodology: 1150 consecutive STEMI and candidates PPCI presenting at our tertiary care cardiac center were included this study. Patients with significant hem...

Abstract Background Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a serious complication with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). We aimed to study the different predictors of CIN and determine cutoff point contrast volume (CV)/creatinine clearance (CrCl) applicability CHA2DS2-VASC score in prediction after PPCI ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Four hundred patients p...
