Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyContrast-induced acute kidney injury after primary percutaneous coronary intervention: results from the HORIZONS-AMI substudy.
We sought to examine the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who developed contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI; defined as an increase in serum creatinine of ≥0.5 mg/dL or a 25% relative rise within 48 h after contrast exposure) from the large-scale HORIZONS-AMI trial. ⋯ Contrast-induced acute kidney injury is associated with poor short- and long-term outcomes after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in STEMI.
