Zhang Q, Si D, Zhang Z, et al. - Researchers assessed the worth of platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in ascertaining left ventricular thrombus (LVT) formation among patients suffering from anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. From anterior STEMI patients with LV dysfunction who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention from January 2017 to December 2019 at the China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University, LVT group (n = 46) was selected. From the same batch of patients, no-LVT group (n = 92) were identified and were age- and gender-matched to the patients with LVT. A significantly higher PLR was detected in patients with LVT vs in no-LVT group. According to the findings, LVT formation in acute anterior STEMI patients with LV dysfunction was shown to be independently predicted by an increased PLR and door-to-balloon time and the presence of an LV aneurysm.
