Objectives
It has been shown that the platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has the highest predictive value in predicting death/MI in high risk patients for coronary artery disease, amongst different hematological indices. The aim of this study was to evaluate relation between right ventricular myocardial performance index (RV MPI) and PLR.
Methods
The subjects were 123 patients (103 male, 20 female, 59±12 years) with a first acute anterior myocardial infarction (AMI). Based on the LV MPI, they were classified into Group 1 (LV MPI < 0.40) of 63 patients and Group 2 (LV MPI ≥ 0.40) of 60 patients. Echocardiograms were used to determine LV MPI, in the 24 hours after the onset of AMI.
