Determination of the Red Cell Distribution Width, NT-proBNP and cTnT in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
the study is to investigate the relationship of several parameters of complete blood count (CBC) including RDW with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in a cohort of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.
