The thrombus burden has been shown to affect the immediate results of primary coronary intervention and the outcome of the patients. The aim of the present study was to determine the cardiovascular risk factors and initial laboratory findings associated with angiographic thrombotic grade based on the new reclassified grading method. A total of 394 consecutive patients presenting with a first ST-elevation myocardial infarction treated by primary coronary intervention were retrospectively evaluated between March 2014 and March 2017. Patients were divided into 2 groups of low thrombus grade (grades 1-3) and high thrombus grade (grade 4). The results showed that the patients with high thrombus grade had markedly higher white blood cell (WBC) counts, platelet counts, and initial troponin levels (P values were
