Red Blood Cell Distribution Width: A Risk Factor for Prognosis in Patients with Ischemic Cardiomyopathy after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been demonstrated in previous studies that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is correlated with the severity and prognosis of cardiovascular disease. The target of our study was to assess the relationship between RDW and the prognosis of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

The study retrospectively enrolled 1986 ICM patients undergoing PCI. The patients were divided into three groups by RDW tertiles. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and the secondary endpoints were each of the components of MACE (all-cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI) and any revascularization). Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were conducted to show the association betwe
