The Effect of Iodinated Contrast Media Sensitivity on the Prognosis of Patients with STEMI Medicina (Kaunas)

Abstract

Iodinated Contrast Media (ICM) is used daily in many imaging departments worldwide.

The main risk associated with ICM is hypersensitivity. When a severe hypersensitivity reaction is not properly managed and treated swiftly, it may be fatal.

Currently, there is no data to demonstrate how ICM sensitivity affects the prognosis of cardiac patients, especially those diagnosed with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), in whom urgent coronary angiography is indicated. This study aimed to identify and characterize this relationship
