Why the study?
CRP, hsCRP, and hematological indices including PLR, NLR, MPV, PDW, and RDW are regarded to be related to the incidence of no-reflow or slow flow following coronary intervention.
Do higher inflammatory and hematological indices predict no-reflow or slow flow in patients undergoing coronary intervention?

Do higher inflammatory and hematological indices predict no-reflow or slow flow in patients undergoing coronary intervention?
Preangiographic inflammatory and hematological indices, particularly MPV, NLR, PLR, and hsCRP, can serve as simple predictors for the risk of no-reflow and slow flow following coronary intervention.
