Prognostic Value of Red Cell Distribution Width in Acute Coronary Syndrome
In humans, the major function of red blood cells (RBCs), also known as erythrocytes, is to deliver oxygen to the peripheral tissues. The normal size of an RBC corpuscle is between 7.2 and 7.9μm in diameter and 2μm in thickness, with a physiologic volume ranging from 80 to 100fL [1]. The plasticity of the plasma membrane allows for considerable enlargement or shrinkage of the RBC in response to ...
متن کاملAdding lipoprotein(a) levels to the GRACE score to predict prognosis in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome.
BACKGROUND High levels of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are known to be a cardiovascular risk factor associated with premature coronary artery disease. In predicting the long term prognosis in acute coronary syndromes (ACS), the relationship between Lp(a) and risk scoring systems remains unclear. AIM We investigated whether adding Lp(a) to the GRACE scoring system has an incremental value in predict...
متن کاملRed Cell Distribution Width Predicting In-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome and Chronic Kidney Disease
The prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW) in predicting inhospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has been validated in several surveys. Our aim was to assess the predictive value of RDW and whether the RDW has additional prognostic value on the GRACE RS in prediction of in-hospital mortality in patients with ACS and CKD. We retrospectively studied the ...
متن کامل[The association between red cell distribution width (RDW) and short-term mortality risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS)].
OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the association between red cell distribution width and short-term mortality risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome. METHODS We prospectively recruited 78 patients with acute coronary syndrome. The study population was classified according to quartiles of the red cell distribution width at hospital admission. A high red cell distribution width was defined as a ...
متن کاملOverconsumption of contrast media in percutaneous coronary intervention: Focusing on cost and acute kidney injury
Irrational use of medicines is a major problem worldwide. Since iodixanol (Visipaque®) was categorized in Category I (AV) based on the ABC-VED analysis in our hospital, we evaluated the amount of visipaque use and estimated the incremental cost based on the maximum contrast dose (MCD) following irrational use of contrast media. This retrospective study was conducted on 100 admitted patients age...
