Impact of admission anemia, C-reactive protein and mean platelet volume on short term mortality in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary angioplasty

► Anemia and CRP are independent predictors of short-term mortality in STEMI patients. ► ROC analysis showed significant link between Hb, CRP, MPV and mortality in STEMI. ► Addition of anemia and CRP to PAMI risk score improved prediction of 30 day outcome.
