Association Among Leukocyte Count, Mortality, and Bleeding in Patients With Non–ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes (from the Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage StrategY [ACUITY] Trial)
Although inflammation is involved in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes, the extent of inflammation is not routinely assessed, and its prognostic implications in patients with non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome have not been investigated in depth. We analyzed the prognostic implications of an elevated white blood cell count (WBCc) in patients with moderate and high-risk non–ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome undergoing an early invasive strategy in the large-scale Acute Catheterization and Urgent Intervention Triage StrategY trial.
