May inform LV dysfunction risk assessment in stable MVCAD; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
Are hematologic parameters (N/L ratio, hs-CRP) associated with left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with stable multi-vessel coronary artery disease?
Elevated neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and hs-CRP are independently associated with impaired left ventricular systolic function in patients with stable multi-vessel coronary artery disease.
