Many patients come to the Emergency Service due to angina, the clinical picture being insufficient to identify those who will evolve to Myocardial Infarction (MI). Cardiac enzymes require a period of time to establish the diagnosis and electrocardiographic changes are not always specific. The high mortality associated with MI requires to propose faster and simpler methods to be able to predict which patients are at higher risk of suffering from it. Objective: To establish whether the elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a factor associated with MI in patients admitted for angina to the Emergency service. Material and method: A case-control study was carried out between January 2017 and December 2020. 336 medical records of patients admitted for angina to the Emergency Service of the Víctor Lazarte Echegaray Hospital were evaluated: 112 cases (patients with angina who developed AMI ) and 224 controls (patients with angina who did not develop AMI). The Chi square test was applied to measure the association between the variables. Subsequently, for the bivariate analysis the Odds Ratio (OR) was calculated and the multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression to study the covariates, all with the same criterion of statistical significance (p <0.05). Results: The elevated RDW was present in 73.2% of the cases and in 3.1% of the controls, representing the independent factor with the greatest association with the evolution to MI after adjusting the confounding variables (p = 0.000; OR 53.28: IC 95% 8.71 – 325.9). Conclusions: The elevated red cell distribution width is a factor associated with myocardial infarction. Its use as a biomarker is recommended to stratify the risk of developing MI among patients admitted for emergency angina.
