RDW may aid STEMI thrombus risk assessment; leaves open validation and impact on therapy or outcomes.
Observational (n=662)
Odds Ratio: 1.29 (95% CI 1.19–1.39)
p-value: p=< .001
Increased red cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent predictor of high coronary thrombus burden in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
Tanboğa et al. (2013) conducted an observational in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (n=662). Red cell distribution width (RDW) was evaluated on High TIMI thrombus burden (grades 4 and 5) (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.19-1.39, p=< .001). Increased red cell distribution width (RDW) was an independent predictor of high coronary thrombus burden in patients with STEMI (OR 1.29; 95% CI 1.19-1.39; P < .001).
