The Relationship Between Hemoglobin Level and No-Reflow Phenomenon in Patients with Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary PCI

TL;DR: The study showed that in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI, hemoglobin level had a significant association with post procedural low TIMI flow and no-reflow, emphasizing the need for randomized control trials to evaluate the importance of pre-simultaneous blood transfusion in patientsWith anemia undergoing PPCI.
