Methods-Results
The study group included 218 patients with STEMI who underwent emergency coronary angiography (CA) within 12 h of symptom onset. Data were collected regarding whether patients had experienced prodromal angina before acute myocardial infarction. One hundred-ten patients (50.4%) had prodromal angina. Prodromal angina positive and negative groups were compared for demographic and angiographic characteristics, complete blood count parameters including NLR, blood biochemistry parameters and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). In a multivariate analysis NLR, LVEF, in-hospital mortality and cardiogenic shock were found to be significantly associat¬ed with absence of prodromal angina.
