Background: Anemia on admission is a powerful predictor of major cardiovascular events in patients presenting for acute coronary syndromes. We sought to determine the prevalence and prognostic impact of anemia in patients presenting for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Anemic and nonanemic patients were compared for clinical and prognostic features and according to four prespecified hemoglobin level subgroups.
