Prevention of Contrast-induced Nephropathy in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2023 Oct 24. doi: 10.2174/011573403X260319231016075216. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTContrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) or contrast-induced acute kidney injury has varying definitions, but in general, increased serum creatinine level by ≥ 0.3 mg/dL (26.5 µmol/L) or 1.5x of baseline value or urine output <0.5 mL/kg/h within 1-7 days after contrast media (CM) administration can be considered as CIN. CIN is one of the most common complications and is associated with increased mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Thus, risk stratification for CIN should be made and...

Contemporary Considerations in the Evolution of Wearable Technology for Arrhythmia Detection
Curr Cardiol Rev. 2023;19(6):93-99. doi: 10.2174/1573403X19666230811093048.ABSTRACTArrhythmias are an increasingly common cause of hospital admissions worldwide. Late detection of arrhythmias is associated with a significantly increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Early identification and management of life-threatening arrhythmias is paramount to reduce mortality. Wearable technologies are now widespread among the general population, providing a continuous output of healthcare data. However, this data are not routinely integrated into clinical practice. Here, we begin by outlining the current landscape in wearabl...
