The no-reflow phenomenon during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can lead to poor outcomes. It has been shown that the monocytes may be involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease and associated with high risk of myocardial infarction.To assess the relation between admission monocyte count and angiographic no-reflow after pPCI.A total of 236 patients with acute STEMI, who underwent pPCI, were enrolled. The patients were divided into two groups (no-reflow and normal reflow) based on post-pPCI Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) flow grade. No reflow was defined as TIMI flow grades ≤ 2, and normal reflow was defined as TIMI 3 flow grade. The monocyte count and other laboratory parameters were measured on admission before pPCI.There were 43 (18.2
