Summary

ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most acute manifestation of coronary artery disease and is associated with great morbidity and mortality.(1). High thrombus burden (HTB) during ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) could translate into worse clinical outcomes.(2). HTB has been defined as the occurrence of thrombo- sis during myocardial infarction, as determined by a thrombus score ≥ 3 in the infarct-related artery (IRA) or as a "cut-off" occlusion pattern and/or large reference vessel diameter (≥ 3.5 mm) in an occluded IRA.(3) Many variables were used to predict the presence of high thrombus burden in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI. higher C-reactive protein, and low serum albumin, higher C - reactive protein to albumin ratio (4) which can be used as a surrogate marker of pro-inflammation and is closely related to pro-thrombotic state. Furthermore higher neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio is closely associated with HTB and short-term mortality in STEMI patients (5). MAPH score, which is a new score that combines blood viscosity biomarkers such as mean platelet volume (MPV), total protein and hematocrit, can be used to predict thrombus burden in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.(6). In addition, TyG index, a valid surrogate marker of insulin resistance, is an independent predictor of LTB in STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI and can be used as an indicator of increased intracoronary thrombus burden. (7). Furthermore, Initial troponin level may be associated with larger thrombus burden within a coronary artery. This finding may influence coronary flow and needs to be taken into consideration during primary coronary intervention.(8). The atherogenic index, a logarithmically transformed ratio of molar concentrations of triglycerides to HDL-cholesterol, can be used as a reliable marker for increased coronary thrombus burden, which is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes(9).whole blood viscosity has also been showing that WBV at both shear rates is a significant predictor of HTB in NSTEMI patients(10).

In our research, we aim to study the effect of these different parameters on thrombus burden and their impact on patients outcome at 6 months
