Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a measure of red blood cell volume variations
(anisocytosis) and is reported as part of a standard complete blood count. In recent years …

Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) usually results from coronary
atherosclerotic plaque disruption with superimposed thrombus formation. Detection of …

Increased coronary thrombus burden is known to be a strong predictor of adverse
cardiovascular (CV) outcomes. C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) can be used as a …

Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been reported to predict cardiovascular risks and
mortality in coronary artery diseases. We aimed to evaluate the capacity of NLR to predict …

To increase confidence in the use of observational analyses when addressing effectiveness
questions beyond those addressed by randomized trials, one can first benchmark the …

Aim: To investigate the relationship between PLR and no-reflow, along with the in-hospital
and long-term outcomes in patients with STEMI. Material and methods: In the present study …

Aim This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between intracoronary thrombus burden
and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and to compare the predictive capacity of SII …

Intracoronary thrombus burden is associated with some adverse events and poor prognosis
in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Identifying predictors of …

Background. Distal embolization due to microthrombus fragments formed during predilation
ballooning is considered one of the possible mechanisms of slow flow/no‐reflow (SF/NR) …

Coronary collateral flow is an important prognostic marker in percutaneous coronary
