Relationship between Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte Ratio and the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization
Authors
Abstract:
Introduction: Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered as an independent predictor of long-term prognosis in the individual patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). This study sought to assess the relationship between NLR and CAD severity in Iranian patients undergoing cardiac catheterization.Material and Methods: This prospective study was conducted on 500 patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) presented to Shahid Beheshti Hospital, Qom, Iran, for admission and underwent cardiac catheterization between March 2015 and May 2017. The patients were assigned into three groups of high NLR (more than 3), intermediate NLR (between 2 and 3), and low NLR (less than 2). Then the CAD severity and its relationship with NLR were assessed.Results: According to the results, there was a significant difference between the groups in terms of CAD severity (P

Relation of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio with coronary artery disease severity in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerosis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are systemic inflammatory markers that are correlated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. AIM To explore the relation of NLR and PLR with severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS The study population consisted of 180 consecutive patients...

Aim: To evaluate the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in diagnosed cases of coronary artery disease. Methods: It was a cross sectional analytical study. The participants included 40 cases with coronary artery disease and 20 normal healthy males. All the participants were in the age group of 35-55 years and were nonsmokers. Total and differential leukocyte count was checked by automated hemoana...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and slow coronary flow (SCF). METHODS A total of 180 participants were recruited to the present study. Of all the participants, 82 patients were with SCF and 98 participants were with normal coronary arteries. Basal characteristics were recorded. Coronary flow was quantified by thrombolysis in myocardial inf...

This study aimed to investigate the relation between the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the severity of coronary artery stenosis. A total of 219 patients were included in the study, comprising 51 coronary artery atherosclerosis (CAC) patients, 92 stable angina pectoris (SAP) patients, and 76 acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients. Based on the results of coronary angiography, all pati...
