Among STEMI patients, a simple preprocedural Risk Score accurately and reproducibly predicted the risk of CI-AKI, identifying ¼ of patients with a seven-fold risk and 1/10 of patients with a 20-fold risk. This knowledge may help tailored strategies, including delaying revascularization of nonculprit vessels in patients at high risk of CI-AKI.
