D-Dimer to Creatinine Ratio (DCR) and Intracoronary Thrombus Burden as Risk Factors for Hospitalized Major Cardiovascular Events (MACE) in Patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI)
Journal: International Journal Of Scientific Advances

Background: STEMI pathophysiology is based on increased activity of coagulation, thrombosis, and inflammation. The role of STEMI biomarkers is essential for prognostic and risk stratification. Dimer-Creatinine Ratio (DCR) is a novel biomarker that could be combined with intracoronary thrombus burden according to TIMI Thrombus Grade to evaluate in hospital MACE in STEMI patients. Methods: A cohort prospective design was implemented in this study, with subjects of STEMI patients undergoing primary
