Özet

Objective The no-reflow phenomenon is associated with adverse outcomes in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) treated by a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). Procalcitonin (PCT) is a marker of systemic inflammatory states and an elevated serum PCT concentration is related to an increased risk of cardiovascular events. We aimed to assess whether serum PCT level at admission is an independent predictor of no-reflow in patients with STEMI treated with PPCI.
