White blood cell count and mortality in acute myocardial infarction
Introduction: Coronary atherosclerosis is increasingly viewed as an inflammatory process. We assessed the relation between WBC count on admission and mortality in STEMI patients treated with primary PCI. Material & Method: Totally 205 patients with STEMI less than 24 hours before admission who admitted for primary angioplasty enrolled in study. Study end points were defined as myocardial advers...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Although traditionally an elevated white blood cell count (WBC), an indicator of systemic inflammation, has been accepted as part of the healing response following acute myocardial infarction (AMI), it has frequently been shown to be a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events. The present study was designed to assess the association between WBC and long-term mortal...
متن کاملThe Prognostic Value of White Blood Cells Count in Patients with Myocardial Infarction
Background: Ischemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction is one of the most dramatic manifestations in one of the most investigated fields in the past few decades. In this study, the prognostic value of white blood cells count in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) was investigated in a six months follow-up. Methods: In this cohort study, 106 patients with MI were investigated. ...
متن کاملAssociation between white blood cell count, epicardial blood flow, myocardial perfusion, and clinical outcomes in the setting of acute myocardial infarction: a thrombolysis in myocardial infarction 10 substudy.
BACKGROUND Elevation of the white blood cell (WBC) count during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with adverse outcomes. We examined the relationship between the WBC count and angiographic findings to gain insight into this relationship. Results and Methods-We evaluated data from 975 patients in the Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) 10A and 10B trials. Patients with a c...
متن کاملPrognostic value of baseline white blood cell count in patients with acute myocardial infarction and ST segment elevation.
I n the setting of an acute myocardial infarction (AMI), elevated white blood cell count (WBC-C) has been associated with adverse cardiovascular events implying not only a purely reparative physiological role, but a pathologic one. Therefore, WBC-C has recently drawn the attention of researchers as a potential stratification tool because of its simplicity, cost effectiveness, and wide availabil...
