Popis: Purpose: Anemia on admission is associated with worse procedural and clinical outcomes in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). In this large cohort we aimed to investigate the relation of anemia on admission to long term major adverse clinical outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, stroke and rehospitalization from worsening heart failure) in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI) for acute STEMI. Methods: 2411 patients with STEMI that underwent p-PCI within the first 12 hours of the onset of chest pain composed the study population. Anemia was defined as hemoglobin level 70% (54.6% vs 64.7%, p
