Abstract
Objectives: To assess the correlation between Ankle-brachial index and coronary reflow in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention. Background: The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a diagnostic test for screening and detecting peripheral artery disease (PAD). ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most serious form of coronary artery disease (CAD) and carries a high risk of both morbidity and mortality. Methods: A cross-sectional prospective analytic study. Ninety patients presented with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who fulfilled the inclusion the patients were divided into two groups according to coronary reflow post-PCI. Group 1: Consisted of 60 Patients with normal reflow. Group 2: Consisted of 30 Patients with no reflow. The participants underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) Result: ABI has a positive correlation with TIMI flow post-PCI (coefficient value of 0.380, P valve
