Abstract | BACKGROUND: METHODS: This retrospective study included 182 consecutive patients with acute myocardial infarction and ST-segment elevation. Patients were assigned to a thrombus-formation group (n = 77) and a non- thrombus-formation group (n = 106). All patients had a Killip's classification <or= 3 and onset < 12 hours prior to presentation. All the cases were going to undergo coronary angiography, including primary percutaneous coronary intervention, simple coronary angiography, or thrombolysis in a coronary artery (or arteries) or coronary artery bypass graft(s). Blood samples for measurement of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and for routine blood laboratory studies were collected prior to coronary angiography. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS:
