Abstract
This work has been carried out in cardiology department, faculty of medicine, Zagazig University during the period from October 2003 to December 2004.
This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of iodinated contrast media ”urografin” on kidney functions and left ventricular diastolic function indices in patients underwent cardiac catheterization for coronary angiography.
The work included (100) patients with normal kidney function (serum creatinine 0.5-1.5 mg/dl), 57 were male (57%) and 43 were female (43%). Their ages ranged from 35 to 69 years with mean age of 52±9.6 years.
The patients are classified into four groups group (A) included diabetic hypertensive patients, group (B) included diabetic patients only, group (C) included hypertensive patients only and group (D) included non diabetic, non-hypertensive patients.
All patients had undergone the following:
1- Complete history taking and thorough clinical examination.
2- Resting 12 lead surface ECG.
3- Abdominal ultrasonography to exclude renal medical diseases.
4- Echo-Doppler study before, immediately and 7-days after cardiac catheterization for assessment of left ventricular diastolic function.
5- Kidney function tests in form of blood urea, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance before cardiac catheterization, immediately, 3 days and 7 days after cardiac catheterization.
