“…Only a few studies in the literature have compared patients with newly diagnosed hypertension versus healthy individuals. In a study performed by Kılıc¸aslan et al, 29 the highest NLR among patients with newly diagnosed hypertension was found in the non-dippers. Likewise, the highest NLR was found in the nondippers in the present study (p<0.001).…”

ObjectiveEpicardial fat tissue thickness (EFT) and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) are associated with atherosclerosis. Few studies have focused on the relationship between these parameters in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension. In this study, we examined the relationship between EFT and the NLR in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension detected by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM).MethodsEighty consecutive patients without chronic illness who were diagnosed with hypertension according to ABPM results and 80 otherwise healthy subjects were enrolled in the study. EFT of each participant was measured echocardiographically. The C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration and NLR were measured from venous blood samples.ResultsThe 24-hour average systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in the hypertension group than in the control group (143±17 vs. 117±7 mmHg, respectively). There were no significant differences in age, sex, or body mass index between the two groups. EFT, the NLR, and the CRP concentration were significantly higher in the hypertension group than control group. Additionally, a significantly positive correlation between EFT and the NLR was found in both the control group and hypertension group.ConclusionA higher EFT and NLR were detected in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension than in healthy subjects.

“…Therefore, blood pressure decreases could be minimal among participants whose NLR was greatly reduced. It was reported that NLR was significantly higher in hypertensive patients, 28,29 and vasculitis causes arteriosclerosis gradually over long periods, leading to strong vascular resistance. Thus, it is necessary to assess the relationship change in NLR and change in blood pressure after smoking cessation over longer periods in future studies.…”

Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is correlated with levels of inflammatory markers and is significantly reduced by smoking cessation

et al. 2021

Previous studies have reported that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is associated with onset and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Smoking is a major risk factor for CVD and smoking cessation significantly reduces CVD risk. However, the effects of smoking cessation on the NLR remain unknown. Among smokers visiting our smoking cessation clinics, we examined changes in the NLR and CVD biomarkers before and after smoking cessation. A total of 389 individuals (301 men and 88 women) were enrolled in the study. The median NLR was significantly reduced after successful smoking cessation (before: 1.8, interquartile range [IQR] 1.5, 2.5; after: 1.7, IQR 1.3, 2.4). In a linear regression model adjusted for sex, percent change in NLR comparing before and after smoking cessation was significantly and positively correlated with percent changes in C-reactive protein (β = 0.260), α1-antitrypsin-low density lipoprotein (β = 0.151, p < 0.05), and serum amyloid A-low density lipoprotein (β = 0.325). Our study demonstrated for the first time that smoking cessation significantly reduces the NLR in tandem with markers of inflammation and oxidative stress.

“…Moreover, other studies have found that NLR was increased in non-dippers with arterial hypertension when compared with dipper and normotensive subjects. Additionally, NLR significantly correlated with blood pressure variation rate, and itwas found to be an independent predictor of blood pressure variability [24]. It is widely suggested that inflammation plays an important role in the progression and severity of cardiac diseases.…”

The relationship between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and blood pressure variability in hypertensive and normotensive subjecs

Abstract: In the present study, we found that NLR levels were significantly correlated with BP variability. The measurement of NLR may be used to indicate increased risk of HT-related adverse cardiovascular events.
