This editorial refers to ‘Significance of total and differential leucocytes count in patients with acute myocardial infarction treated with primary coronary angioplasty’{dagger} by M. Mariani et al., on page 2511

The first 10% of the full text of this article appears below.

Mariani et al.1 add to a growing body of the literature associating elevated white blood cell counts to adverse outcomes in the setting of ST-elevation MI (STEMI). For the first time, the authors highlight the association of elevated monocytes counts particularly with late left ventricular (LV) functional recovery following primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI.

A wealth of data has accumulated relating elevated white blood cell counts to a host of adverse outcomes in the setting of acute coronary syndromes including, death, congestive . . . [Full Text of this Article]
