Increased red cell distribution width in patients with slow coronary flow syndrome
OBJECTIVE An elevated red cell distribution width has been recognized as a predictor of various cardiovascular diseases. Slow coronary flow syndrome is an important angiographic clinical entity with an unknown etiology. This study aimed to examine the relationship between red cell distribution width and the presence of slow coronary flow syndrome. METHODS In total, 185 patients with slow coro...
متن کاملIncreased red cell distribution width in patients with slow coronary flow
We read the article ‘‘Increased red cell distribution width (RDW) in patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) syndrome’’ by Luo et al. (1). In this study, the authors examined the relationship between RDW and SCF syndrome. The authors concluded that RDW levels are strongly positively correlated with both C-reactive protein and thrombosis in the myocardial infarction frame counts of patients with ...
متن کاملAuthors' comments on: Higher red cell distribution width in patients with slow coronary flow
We would like to thank sincerely Balta et al. (1) for their positive comments and kind interest concerning our original research article that was recently published in Clinics (2). As indicated in the authors’ comments, red cell distribution width (RDW) is a measurement of the size variation in red blood cells, as well as an index of the heterogeneity of the circulating erythrocytes, which is c...
متن کاملEvaluation of Electrocardiogram Changes in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow
Background: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is defined as a condition in which in spite of no evidence of coronary occlusion or stenosis in angiography, there is delayed pacification of the vessels after the injection of a contrast agent. There are several studies about electrocardiogram (ECG) changes in these patients, but changes like OLD MI, RBBB, LBBB, LVH and ST-T wave have not b...
متن کاملPrognostic Validity of Red Cell Distribution Width in Neonatal Sepsis
Background Neonatal sepsis is one of the most critical illness in neonates that is responsible for a great proportion of morbidity and mortality in neonates so early diagnosis and identification of high risk cases is a challenging aim of our study. The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of red cell distribution width (RDW), in neonatal sepsis at the time of admission ...
