In this episode of Cardio Buzz, host and guest Dr. Daniel Jones discuss contrast nephropathy, a kidney injury caused by contrast agents used in medical imaging, and a promising intervention to reduce its incidence. Dr. Jones explains that inorganic nitrates, which are naturally found in green leafy vegetables, have shown significant potential in preventing contrast-induced nephropathy and associated acute kidney injuries in a recent study. This study involved 640 high-risk patients and demonstrated that inorganic nitrates reduced kidney injuries by 60% and improved long-term cardiovascular outcomes. The episode concludes with a conversation about the practical implications and future research plans for this intervention.
