چکیده

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. white blood cell counts were assessed 48 hours after mi and the location of mi was determined using ecg. mortality rate was determined and their correlation with leukocytosis was analyzed up to 6 months of follow-up. binary logistic regression analysis was applied between factors such as mortality rate, location of the myocardial infarction, sex, hemoglobin and wbc count. results: mean age of the patients was 62.5±13.3 years. 76.4% were men. 26% of patients had leukocytosis. leukocytosis was significantly correlated with mortality in a six-month follow-up period (p< 0.001). fifteen (14.2%) patients died during the first three months of follow-up, of which 13 (86.7%) had leukocytosis. it was also shown that mean age of the patients and anemia in deceased group were significantly more than the survived group. conclusion: high wbc count in the first 48-h after mi can be regarded as a poor prognostic factor and it has an independent role in determining prognosis of patients with mi for the next six months.

[Prognostic value of white blood cell count in acute myocardial infarction: long-term mortality].

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...

Prognostic 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...

Predictive value of elevated white blood cell count in patients with preexisting coronary heart disease: the Bezafibrate Infarction Prevention Study.

BACKGROUND Inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes. White blood cell (WBC) count increases during infections and inflammatory illnesses and has been shown to predict coronary heart disease (CHD) independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors. This apparent association may reflect a relationship between the WBC count and other corona...
