Abstract：Objective To investigate the relation between Cardio-ankle vascular index ( CAVI) and incidence of radiographic contrast nephropathy in senile patients after coronary angiography. Methods Two hundreds and sixty-four cases over 60 years were divided into two groups according to the value of CAVI. Serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen and chemical inspection were measured before coronary angiography (CA) and on the 1st and 2nd days after CA. Results The value of serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen 24 h and 48 h after CA in CAVI ≥9.0 group were increased (P<0.05) than those in CAVI <9.0 group. The occurrence of radiographic contrast nephropathy in CAVI ≥9.0 group was higher than that in CAVI <9.0 group. Conclusion CAVI is a risk factor of the incidence of radiographic contrast nephropathy in senile patients after CA.
