Role of leukocyte parameters in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention with high thrombus burden.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Leukocyte parameters are associated with cardiovascular diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of leukocyte parameters in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) with high thrombus burden (HTB).

Methods

A total of 102 consecutive STEMI patients with HTB who underwent PPCI within 12 h from the onset of symptoms between June 2020 and September 2021 were enrolled in this study. In addition, 101 age- and sex-matched STEMI patients with low thrombus burden (LTB) who underwent PPCI within 12 h from the onset of symptoms were enrolled as controls. Leukocyte parameters, such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocy
