ABSTRACT
Background:
Acute myocardial infarction ST-elevation [STEMI] is frequently associated with leukocytosis and relative increased in neutrophil count. It is believed that the peripheral leukocyte count have important prognostic implication in AMI. In this study we hypothesized that there is an association between absolute leukocytosis and neutrophilia to the short term development of congestive heart failure [CHF] after AMI
