AIM: To evaluate incidence, risk factors and consequences of AKI in patients undergoing primary PCI. METHODS: Retrospective analysis. RESULTS: 202 patients included. AKI occurred in 25 (12.4%) of them. Characteristics of the patients with and without AKI did not differ significantly except for age (69 ± 13 vs. 62 ± 12;p=0.003), female gender (48.0% vs. 26.6%; p=0.035), hypertension (88.0% vs.62.7%; p=0.013), LV ejection fraction (40% ± 12% vs. 49% ± 14%; p=0.002),cardiogenic shock (44.0% vs. 5.1 %; p |
