AB  - BACKGROUND: There are few studies about predictors of ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI) in young patients. High red cell distribution width (RDW) 
      levels were associated with adverse outcomes in patients with STEMI. We aimed to 
      investigate the relationship between RDW and STEMI in young patients. METHODS: 
      This study included 370 patients who presented to our hospital with acute 
      myocardial infarction (Group 1: 198 young patients, < 45 ages for male, < 55 ages 
      for female, Group 2: 172 elderly patients) and 156 adults with normal coronary 
      angiography as a control group (Group 3: 91 young patients, < 45 ages for male, < 
      55 ages for female, Group 4: 65 elderly patients). RESULTS: Compared with Group 
      3, Group 1 had a significantly higher value of RDW (Group 1 RDW 14.1 +/- 1.1%, 
      Group 3 RDW 13.4 +/- 0.9, p1 < 0.01). Value of RDW was similar both of Group 2 and 
      4 (Group 2 RDW 13.7 +/- 1.2, Group 4 RDW 13.5 +/- 0.9, p2 = 0.1). After multivariate 
      analysis, high levels of RDW were independent predictors of STEMI in young 
      patients (OR: 0.337, p < 0.01) together with gender (OR: 3.725, p < 0.01), 
      history of hyperlipidemia (OR: 25.172, p < 0.01) and high density lipoprotein 
      cholesterol (OR: 1.088, p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: High levels of RDW were 
      associated with STEMI in young patients. We think that RDW is a widely available 
      marker with no additional costs, in contrast to other novel markers of 
      cardiovascular risk.
