Astudy on prognostic significance of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio in patients with stemi

Abstract

Introduction: Atherosclerosis, the clinically manifested form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), mainly accounts for most deaths worldwide. Inflammatory disorders that elevate CVD risk have been associated with circulating inflammatory markers that encompass neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which could be employed as an economical prognostic tool for the diagnosis of the same.
Aim: Hence, this study focused on assessing the extrapolative implication of NLR among ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients.
