Background: Acute treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is restoration of myocardial perfusion by recanalization of the occluded vessel. Objective: The aim of the present study is to detect no reflow post primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in young STEMI patients and to correlate clinical, electrocardiogram, angiographic and procedural variables with no reflow. Patients and methods: This Cohort study was conducted in the Cardiology Department, Faculty of Medicine, Zagazig University on 106 young patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with PPCI during the period from January 2021 to April 2022. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to myocardial blush; Group (I) which included 80 patients with normal flow, and Group (II) which included 26 patients with No reflow. Results: We found that No significant difference between the 2 studied groups regarding Initial Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow 0 or 1. The admission EF was significantly lower among the No Reflow Group and the no reflow group significantly associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), mortality, smoking, low EF and anterior wall myocardial infarction (AWMI) were independent predictors for no reflow. Conclusions: No reflow in young patient with STEMI could be attributed to novel predictors such as Smoking, low EF and AWMI. This phenomenon was associated with MACE and higher mortality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
