Background: The objective of this study was to determine whether the WBC count is associated with in-hospital mortality & morbidity for patients with ischemic heart disease after controlling for potential confounders.
Methods: This study was prospective study. 100 patients presenting within 24hrs with Acute MI and qualifying inclusion criteria were enrolled and written consent was taken regarding participation in the study.
Results: Out of 100 patients had LV dysfunction, among these 30 patients 21were having elevated WBC count and 9 had normal WBC count. Among 100 patients 14 had cardiogenic shock, among these patients 9 had elevated WBC count and 5 had normal WBC count. Among 100 patients 8 patients died, among these patients 7 patients had elevated WBC count and 1 patient had normal WBC count.
Conclusion: Elevated WBC count within 24 hours was associated with high rate of complications after acute myocardial infarction.
