Do hematological parameters in the complete blood count predict new-onset and recurrent atrial fibrillation?
Hematological parameters such as neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and red blood cell distribution width are significantly associated with the occurrence and recurrence of atrial fibrillation, suggesting utility as predictive biomarkers.
