We read the published article by Kaya et al. [1] titled, “Carboxyhemoglobin levels predict the long-term development of acute myocardial infarction in carbon monoxide poisoning” with great interest. The researchers of the study demonstrated that elevated carboxyhemoglobin (COHb) levels in patients who applied to emergency services with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is an independent predictor of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) development in the long term. The cardiotoxic effects of CO are previously known and many studies have been published for the acute period cardiac effects of CO poisoning.
