Background Functional single ventricle (FSV) is a spectrum of severe congenital heart disease, with multiple anatomic variations but similar surgical treatment strategies. FSV patients are living longer into adulthood compared to two or three decades ago, and they are more frequently undergoing imaging to assist in clinical and surgical management. Objective To assess the relation between admission eGFR, HDL, Monocytes, CRP & albumin levels in patients presenting with acute STEMI and angiographic no-reflow after primary PCI. Material and Methods From October 2018 to February 2019, 60 patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI in Ain-Shams University hospitals. All patients subjected to history, clinical examination, ECG pre and post pPCI, pre-pPCI eGFR, monocytes, HDL, CRP and albumin, echocardiography. Patients were divided into two groups based on post-pPCI Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade. No reflow was defined as TIMI flow grades ≤ 2, and normal reflow was defined as TIMI 3 flow grade. All the laboratory parameters were measured on admission before pPCI. Results The study population was divided into 2 groups: reflow (n = 31) and no-reflow (NR) (n = 29) groups. CRP over albumin ration “CAR” (7.9 [4.41-16.18] vs 1.74 [1.54-2.35] (P <.001) were significantly higher in the NR group than in the reflow group, and these factors were found to be independent predictors of NR development. However, eGFR and Monocytes over HDL ratio “MHR” didn’t show any statistical differences between the two groups. Conclusion No-reflow can be predicted by systemic inflammation markers including monocytes, CRP, albumin and HDL. CAR has the highest positive predictive value for no-reflow.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
