004 Contrast induced nephropathy after primary PCI for STEMI: Usefulness of a new definition

Abstract

including age, sex and time delays to admission. Interestingly, dyslipidemia and history of MI was less frequent in PE group. Plasma CRP levels on admission were markedly higher in PE patients. Prior chronic treatments were less frequent in PE group, in particular for aspirin (11 vs 19%, p=0.027), ACE inhibitor (10 vs 18%, p=0.014) and statin (15 vs 23%, p=0.054). Acute treatments were similar, except for BetaBlocker that were more used in patients without PE. Patients with PE were more likely to suffer from STEMI and altered LVEF. Hospital complications such as death, or heart failure (12 vs 7%, p=0.016, 47 vs 28%, p=0.001), and mechanical complications including atrial fibrillation, wall rupture, apical thrombus and mitral regurgitation (respectively, 20 vs 9%, p<0.001, 7 vs 0.5%, p<0.01, 8 vs 0.7%, p<0.01, and 8 vs 3%, p=0.03) were more frequent in PE group.
