Abstract:Background: Brain (b-type) natriuretic peptide (BNP) is released into the circulation in response to ventricular dilatation and pressure overload conditions. Studies linked between levels of BNP and short/long term prognosis in patients of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Aim: To evaluate the brain natriuretic peptide as a predictor of contrast induced acute kidney injury post percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Patients and Methods: The study included 60 patients who pre… Show more
