Correlation between admission blood glucose, fibrinogen, and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

However, whether immediate blood glucose and FIB levels affect coronary blood flow during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains unclear.ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between admission blood glucose (ABG), fibrinogen (FIB) and slow blood flow during primary PCI for acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).MethodsA

Correlation between baseline immature platelets fraction levels and peak troponin in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Introduction Elevated peak cardiac troponin levels have been linked with increased morbidity and mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We hypothesize that patients with higher IPF levels during AMI, will experience a more severe infarct, leading to elevated peak troponin levels.
