Diastolic dysfunction and contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography

Objectives It has been demonstrated that decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is associated with an increased risk of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN). In this study, we aimed to assess whether there is a relationship between left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and renal function decline after coronary angiography (CAG).
