| Abstract | ||
| Background: CHA2DS2-VASc score is used to predict the risk of thrombo-embolic events in patients with AF. In this study, CHA2DS2-VASc score was investigated to show its correlation with TIMI flow count among patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients & Methods : A total number 106 patients with STEMI were included in this study. Patients were divided into two groups as control group (TIMI III flow) (n= 69) and no-reflow group (n= 37). CHA2DS2-VASc score was calculated and a cut off value of >2 was used as a predictor of TIMI flow count. No-refolw defined as inadequate Results: The no-reflow patients were significantly older with higher prevalence of DM and HTN. Multivariate regression analysis showed that CHA2DS2-VASc score is a significant independent predictor of the no-reflow. Conclusions: CHA2DS2-VASc score is as an easy, fast and independent predictor of TIMI flow count after primary PCI. | ||
