HUBUNGAN JUMLAH LEUKOSIT TERHADAP KADAR TROPONIN I PADA PASIEN INFARK MIOKARD

Abstract

Background : Myocardial Infarction or Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death in the world. More than 7 millions people are detected to have the disease each year. AMI’s diagnostic tools tha available now are hard to find because not all health facilities have that. So we need another diagnostic tools that accessible and affordable Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between Leukocyte count and troponin I level in patients with Acute myocardial Infarction . Method: This study is a retrospective observational analytical study with cross sectional desiign. Samples were patients with acute myocardial infarction were examined in Dr Kariadi Semarang, Java Tengah.who has fulfilled the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data collected in this sudy is secondary data in the form of medical records of patients. Result: There is a significant relationship between the number of leukocytes with troponin I levels in AMI patients (p = 0.001). The statistical relation between the variables is in the medium category (0,4 - <0,6) and the direction of the correlation is positive, which means the dependent variables increased when independent variables increased. Conclusion: There is a correlation between the number of leukocytes with troponin I levels in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Key word: Leukocyte count, Troponin I levels, Acute Myocardial Infarction
