Atrial matrix remodeling in atrial fibrillation patients with aortic stenosis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Risk stratification is recommended as the key step to prevent contrast-associated acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) among at-risk patients following coronary angiography (CAG) and/or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients with hypoalbuminemia are prone to CA-AKI and do not have their own risk stratifi...
