Key result
Leukocyte count, leukocyte-to-platelet ratio, and neutrophil-to-platelet ratio were significantly higher in patients with myocardial infarction compared to non-MI patients presenting with chest pain.
Why the study?
To evaluate the diagnostic value of hemogram-based inflammatory parameters, particularly leukocyte, leukocyte-to-platelet ratio, and neutrophil-to-platelet ratio, in identifying myocardial infarction among emergency department patients with chest pain.
Do hemogram-based inflammatory parameters (leukocyte count, leukocyte-to-platelet ratio, neutrophil-to-platelet ratio) accurately identify myocardial infarction in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain?
Case-Control (n=120)
Do hemogram-based inflammatory parameters (leukocyte count, leukocyte-to-platelet ratio, neutrophil-to-platelet ratio) accurately identify myocardial infarction in patients presenting to the emergency department with chest pain?
Hemogram-based inflammatory parameters, including leukocyte-to-platelet and neutrophil-to-platelet ratios, are significantly elevated in patients with myocardial infarction and may aid in diagnostic evaluation in the emergency department.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May aid MI diagnosis in ED chest pain using routine hemogram; reinforces diagnostic value of leukocyte and platelet ratios.

Yumrutepe et al. (2026) conducted a case-control in Myocardial infarction (n=120). Hemogram-based inflammatory parameters vs. Non-myocardial infarction was evaluated on Discriminatory performance of hemogram parameters for myocardial infarction. Leukocyte count, leukocyte-to-platelet ratio, and neutrophil-to-platelet ratio were significantly higher in patients with myocardial infarction compared to non-MI patients presenting with chest pain.
