Association Between N‐Terminal Pro‐Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Contrast‐Induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Coronary Syndrome

摘要

BackgroundContrast‐induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with significantly increased morbidity and mortality after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are at higher risk for CIN. N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) is closely linked to the prognosis as a strong predictor of both short‐ and long‐term mortality in patients with ACS.
