Predictores de fenómeno de no reflujo en infarto agudo del miocardio con elevación del segmento ST

Background: No-reflow (NR) phenomenon is one of the most feared complications after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the treatment of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to its high morbidity and mortality. Objective: To describe the predictive factors for NR phenomenon in a group of subjects with STEMI treated with PCI. Method: One hundred and three cases of STEMI who underwent PCI. The subjects were divided according to the presence of NR phenomenon. In a multivariate analysis: age, gender, comorbidities, weight, and other clinical and laboratory parame-ters were studied as predictors of NR phenomenon were studied. Results: In this study, logistic regression analysis identified as independent factors for the development of NR phenomenon: baseline TIMI flow ≤ 2 (OR: 6.03; 95% CI, 0.9 to 11.8; p = 0.04), ER KDIGO ≥ 3 (OR: 3.49; 95%CI, 1.2 to 2.6; p = 0.02) and glucose level ≥ 180 mg/dL (OR:2.61; 95% CI, 1.0 to 2.4; p = 0.04). Conclusions: NR phenomenon continues to be a challenge for short and long-term morbidity and mortality in STEMI. The identified factors can be used for the stratification of cases with STEMI and risk of NR phenomenon prior to PCI.
