Red Cell Distribution Width and Elongation Index in a Cohort of Patients With Juvenile Acute Myocardial Infarction
In a cohort of patients with juvenile myocardial infarction, we considered the red cell distribution width (RDW), hematocrit, hemoglobin, and elongation index values at the initial phase and at 3 and 12 months from the acute event. In the initial phase, only the elongation index values turn out redu...

description | In a cohort of patients with juvenile myocardial infarction, we considered the red cell distribution width (RDW), hematocrit, hemoglobin, and elongation index values at the initial phase and at 3 and 12 months from the acute event. In the initial phase, only the elongation index values turn out reduced if compared with those of the control group, and that only turn out to discriminate the infarcted ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) from non-STEMI. Dividing the patients according to the traditional risk factors and the extent of coronary heart disease, there are no significant variations in the analyzed parameters. No major changes are observed after 12 months from the acute event. Both to 3 and to 12 months from the infarct episode, the negative statistical correlation between RDW and the value of elongation index remains. These data make us reflect on the role of the degree of anisocytosis of red blood cell expressed by the RDW on the determinism of erythrocyte deformability, which plays its role in the microcirculation district and that is essential in the transfer of tissue oxygen. |
