Inflammation in ST- elevation myocardial infarction: risk factors patterns of presentation and association with clinical picture and outcome an observational study conducted at the Institute of Cardiology-National Hospital of Sri Lanka

摘要

BackgroundInflammation in myocardial infarction has a complex immunogenic origin and is suspected to be closely involved in its aetio-pathogenesis as well as outcome. In this study the objective was to further elucidate the clinical correlations of inflammation using clinical parameters and basic inflammatory markers and how it correlates with patient risk parameters, imaging findings and outcome.
