A Novel Marker of Inflammation in Patients with Slow Coronary Flow: Lymphocyte-To-Monocyte Ratio

Abstract

LMR was negatively correlated with serum C-reactive protein and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio levels.

SYNTAX and Logistic Clinic SYNTAX Score as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation after Isolated Coronary Artery Bypass

“…Lymphopaenia may indicate that the immune response is suppressed and this condition has been associated with adverse cardiac outcomes. Reduction of lymphocytes has reflected elevation of serum catecholamines and cortisol levels formed during a systemic stress response [25]. An elevated NLR is an independent predictor of nonvalvular AF [25,26] which is consistent with our results.…”

“…Reduction of lymphocytes has reflected elevation of serum catecholamines and cortisol levels formed during a systemic stress response [25]. An elevated NLR is an independent predictor of nonvalvular AF [25,26] which is consistent with our results. SYNTAX score determines the complexity of coronary artery disease and help us to predict major advanced cardiovascular events after revascularization.…”

“…NLR is an inflammatory marker which has been shown to be a strong predictor of AF after CABG [24]. It can be explained by neutrophils participate in perioperative myocardial damage and are associated with increased blood viscosity and hypercoagulability [25]. Lymphopaenia may indicate that the immune response is suppressed and this condition has been associated with adverse cardiac outcomes.…”

<p>Comparison of the Value of Neutrophil to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio and Lymphocyte to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio for Predicting Metabolic Syndrome Among a Population in the Southern Coast of China</p>

“…40 The LMR has been recognized as a potentially predictive and prognostic maker for inflammation in distinct populations. 7,41 The LMR was also found to be related to diabetic retinopathy and can be an independent risk factor in vascular pathologies such as coronary artery and peripheral vascular disease. 42,43 Although the data on the MHR are limited, some studies revealed that MHR was also an important and valuable variable for cardiovascular events and MetS.…”

Complete blood cell count components and coronary slow-flow phenomenon

“…Furthermore, the elevated levels of hemoglobin11 and hematocrit15 have been associated with the CSFP. In addition to these regular complete blood cell count components, some novel biomarkers have also been found to be associated with the CSFP, including elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio,14 increased platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio,16 and decreased lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio 18. All these novel biomarkers are inflammation-based and have been useful in diagnosing other inflammatory diseases.…”
