Association of monocyte count on admission with angiographic no-reflow after primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

Monocyte count on admission and low haemoglobin concentration were independent clinical predictors of no-reflow following pPCI in patients with STEMI. Our findings suggest that admission monocyte count may be available for early risk stratification of no-reflow after pPCI and might allow the improvement of strategies to prevent this phenomenon.
