Inflammatory mediators was assciated with negative consequences of acute myocardial infarction. This study tested the hypothesis that in the acute phase of acute coronary syndrome, leukocyte count, neutrophil count, neutrophil lymphocyte ratio, and high sensitivity C reactive protein (hsCRP) are predictive of angiographic thrombus formation in the infarct related artery. Material and Method: This prospective study included 150 consecutive patients with acute coronary syndrome. Patients were assigned to a thrombus formation group (n=65) and a non thrombus formation group (n=85). Blood samples for measurement of hsCRP and for routine blood laboratory studies were collected before to coronary angiography. Numerical data were expressed as mean +/- Standard deviation. Nominal data were expressed as the number and percentage. Comparisons between groups, chi-square test was used for nominal variables. Comparisons between groups, t-test was used for numerical data. All statistical analyzes, p < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The levels of hsCRP, total leukocyte counts, neutrophil counts, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratios were substantially higher in the thrombus formation group than in the non thrombus formation group patients (for each, P < 0.05). T-test analyses identified hsCRP, leukocyte count, neutrophil count, and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio as independent predictors of thrombus formation in the infarct-related artery (for each, P < 0.05). Discussion: In patients with acute coronary syndrome, higher leukocyte conut, neutrophil count, neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio and level of hsCRP are predictors to indicate thrombus formation.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAcute Coronery SyndromeThrombus FormationInflammatory MediatorsArticle691210.4328/JCAM.2522WOS:000215585400016N/A
