Effect of No-Reflow During Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Acute Myocardial Infarction on Six-Month Mortality

Background: No-reflow is a serious complication that can occur during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI). frequent event (AMI), and it may affect cardiac prognosis. Objectives: The main objective of the study to find effect no-reflow on six-month mortality. Methods: This was conducted at Ayub Teaching Hospital Abbottabad over period six months (1st January 2022 30th June 2022). A total 130 patients who underwent PCI AMI were included. occurrence procedure noted, mortality recorded. Results: Of included in study, 34 (26.2%) developed PPCI. mean age 58.5 ± 9.6 years, 73.8% male. most common risk factors hypertension (52.3%), smoking (45.4%), diabetes (36.2%). There no significant differences baseline clinical angiographic characteristics between with without no-reflow. Conclusions: associated higher rate. Further research needed explore strategies prevent or mitigate AMI. Keywords: AMI, No-reflow, Mortality,
