Background: Among patients with ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), worsening of renal function resulting in Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) is a frequent complication known to be associated with adverse outcomes. Also, anemia on admission is associated with an increased risk for (AKI). The relation between echocardiographic parameters of Left Ventricular (LV) function and the risk of AKI among patients with STEMI undergoing PCI is still controversial. Aim of the Study: Detection of the relationship between hemoglobin level and LV systolic and diastolic function as a predictors for developing AKI after primary PCI in patients with STEMI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
