Key result
Combined post-PCI AKI and elevated hs-cTnT are evaluated to predict post-PCI MACE risk.
Why the study?
The integrated predictive value of acute kidney injury and elevation of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T induced by PCI for major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients was unclear.
Does the integration of AKI and hs-cTnT elevation after PCI predict major cardiovascular events in ACS patients?
Population
299 ACS patients undergoing PCI at a single hospital
Comparison
Patients with AKI and/or hs-cTnT elevation vs patients without either
Design
Prospective cohort study
Follow-up
At least one year

Post-PCI AKI with hs-cTnT rise may identify higher 1-year MACE risk in ACS; hypothesis-generating and needs prospective validation.

Does the integration of AKI and hs-cTnT elevation after PCI predict major cardiovascular events in ACS patients?
This study aims to evaluate whether the combination of post-PCI acute kidney injury and hs-cTnT elevation can predict 1-year MACE in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
Luo et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (n=299). Acute kidney injury (AKI) and elevated high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) vs. Neither AKI nor elevated hs-cTnT was evaluated on Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including acute STEMI, NSTEMI and stroke.
