Dilated Left Ventricular End-Diastolic Diameter Is a New Risk Factor of Acute Kidney Injury Following Coronary Angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) is a common indicator in echocardiogram, and dilated LVEDD was correlated with left ventricular insufficiency. However, it is uncertain whether dilated LVEDD is associated with increasing the risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Patients and methods

We enrolled 8,189 patients with CAD undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) between January 2007 and December 2018. Patients were divided into two groups according to the LVEDD length (normal LVEDD: men: LVEDD ≤56 mm, women: LVEDD ≤51 mm; dilated LVEDD: men: LVEDD >56 mm, women: LVEDD >51 mm). The endpoints were CA-AKI⁰³⁵⁰ and CA-AKI⁰⁵²⁵ (CA-AKI⁰³⁵⁰: an increase in the serum cr
