Abstract

Background: The association of coronary artery disease complexity with contrast induced nephropathy (CIN) in patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is inadequately evaluated and to our knowledge the association between SYNTAX score (SS) and Mehran score (MS) have not been studied. The aim of the present study is to clarify the incidence of CIN and to identify demographic, clinical and procedural variables associated with CIN in patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) due to acute STEML besides the association between MS and SS with CIN.
