Abstract
Background: Anaemia is prevalent among cases with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and has been linked to poor clinical prognosis. Guidelines for cases with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) recommend timely primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) as the preferred reperfusion strategy. If timely pPCI cannot be performed, a pharmacoinvasive strategy (PI) is recommended within 12 hours of symptom onset. The aim of this work was to study and assess the impact of hemoglobin level as a predictor of MACE and short-term outcomes in cases treated with Primary PCI vs pharmacoinvasive strategy. Methods: This prospective case-control observational study was conducted on 100 cases that were divided into 2 groups. Group I consisted of 50 anaemic cases & group II consisted of 50 cases that were not anaemic. Both groups were subdivided into A subgroups that underwent revascularization by pPCI and B subgroups that underwent revascularization by pharmacoinvasive strategy. Results: There was no significant difference in LVEF, infarct site and final TIMI flow, the anaemic groups showed statistically significant more total MACE than non-anaemic groups whether revascularized by pPCI or pharmacoinvasive strategy. As expected, anaemic cases tended to have higher bleeding complications especially those undergoing pharmacoinvasive strategy. The anaemic cases also were less likely to be discharged on RAAS and beta blockers. Conclusions: Anaemic cases whether revascularized with pPCI or pharmacoinvasive strategy tend to have higher incidence of MACE and major bleeding with no significant difference in mortality. There was no significant difference between LVEF between the study groups.
