Raised Red Cell Distribution Width as a Risk Assessment Prognostic Tool For Post Myocardial Infarction Patients
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Objectives & Aims: The evaluation and identify new prognostic markers suggested in recent studies for coronary heart disease ,raised red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been found to be associated with poor prognosis after resent myocardial infarction. Evaluate the relationship between raised RDW and mortality morbidity after the initial attack of myocardial infarction (MI). Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with adverse outcomes. We studied the association between raised RDW during hospital course with clinical outcomes survival index of patients with after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Material & Methods: Blood was collected in a sterile EDTA containing tube and processed following our established iso certified hospital based laboratory protocol .A complete blood counting including HB%, PCV, Red cell indices ,platelet count, total white cell count and RDW was done by Automated blood cell counter. Level of Troponin I done by automated mini vidas bioanalyser. Conclusion: we find significantly correlation in patients with post MI along with high RDW. RDW is an inexpensive cost effective and easily available laboratory test, high RDW with high troponin I for post MI have poor outcome of patients’ it could be used for mortality with morbidity risk assessment and follow up the patients after MI. we find that high RDW of raised troponin I pt. shows poor prognosis. confirmation of mi done by troponin I level of every patients
