Multicenter Study Observational StudyIncremental predictive value of red cell distribution width for 12-month clinical outcome after acute myocardial infarction.
The incremental predictive value of red cell distribution width (RDW) for major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) has not been fully investigated in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). ⋯ In post-myocardial infarction patients, baseline RDW levels at admission could provide incremental predictive value to established risk factors for predicting 12-month MACEs.
