Özet
Aim: This study sought to investigate the predictive value of whole blood viscosity (WBV) to identify high-risk patients who will develop an apical thrombus during the acute phase of anterior transmural infarction. Materials & methods: Consecutive 1726 patients with first acute anterior myocardial infarction were evaluated. WBV was calculated according to the Simone's formula. Results: Patients with an apical thrombus had prolonged pain to balloon time, higher rate of post-PCI thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow ≤1 and significantly higher mean WBV values at both shear rates than those without an apical thrombus. Conclusion: WBV values at both shear rates were found to be significant and independent predictors for early LV apical thrombus formation complicating a first-ever anterior wall myocardial infarction.
