Background: This study is done to know the prognostic importance of WBC count and blood glucose at admission in acute myocardial infarction
Methods: This study was prospective study. 100 patients presenting to Department of cardiology, Sardar Patel Medical College, Bikaner within 24hrs with Acute MI.
Results: Out of 100 patients 15 had LV dysfunction, among these 15 patients 9 were having elevated WBC count and 6 had normal WBC count. Among 100 patients 11 had cardiogenic shock, among these11 patients 7 had elevated WBC count and 4 had normal WBC count. Among 100 patients 7 patients died, among these 7 patients 5 patients had elevated WBC count and 2 patient had normal WBC count.
Conclusion- Elevated WBC count at admission has a prognostic importance as independent and joint variables in predictors for short-term outcome in the form of in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction cases.
