Recently, a new scientific research by Dr. Azhar Abbas Nasser, a lecturer at the College of Medicine - Warith Al-Anbia University, was published in the World Journal of Advance Healthcare Research, in which he discussed the presentation of red blood cell distribution width (RDW) as an inflammatory indicator of the severity of acute myocardial infarction (STEMI), using echocardiographic assessment.

The research focuses on the relationship between high RDW and changes in heart function in patients with acute myocardial infarction, as the results showed that RDW can be a biomarker that helps in evaluating patients and determining the extent of the impact of systolic and diastolic heart functions, which opens the way for its use in early diagnosis and prediction of potential complications.

This research is an important scientific addition in the field of cardiology, as it contributes to the development of methods for evaluating patients with myocardial infarction, and enhances the understanding of the relationship between inflammatory processes and heart complications. This study is an extension of the distinguished research efforts made by professors of the College of Medicine at Warith Al-Anbia University to support medical knowledge based on modern scientific evidence.
