Contrast-induced nephropathy is associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation in acute coronary syndrome after cardiac catheterization: Systemic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Recent studies suggest that CIN is associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who underwent catheterization. However, a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature have not been done. We assessed the association between CIN in patients with ACS and new-onset AF by a systematic review of the literature and a meta-analysis.

Hypothesis

CIN is associated with new-onset AF in patients with ACS.

Methods

We comprehensively searched the databases of MEDLINE and EMBASE from inception to April 2018. Included studies were published cohort studies that co
