Key result
Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio is a reliable prognostic biomarker to assess immediate outcomes, including major adverse cardiac events and in-hospital mortality, in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Several inflammatory biomarkers have been implicated in ACS, prompting evaluation of the prognostic value of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) for immediate outcomes in acute STEMI and its correlation with TIMI risk score.
Does neutrophil lymphocyte ratio predict major adverse cardiac events in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction?
Does neutrophil lymphocyte ratio predict major adverse cardiac events in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction?
NLR is a reliable, fast, and low-cost admission biomarker that correlates with TIMI risk score and predicts MACE and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute STEMI.
Several inflammatory biomarkers have been implicated in the pathogenesis of acute coronary syndromes. The present study aims to determine the prognostic value of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) to predict the immediate outcomes in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction and if any correlation exists between NLR and TIMI risk score. A review of articles published in Pubmed database on the prognostic importance of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in determining major adverse cardiac events (MACE) such as arrhythmias, cardiogenic shock and in hospital mortality was done. NLR was found to be a reliable prognostic tool to assess the immediate outcome in ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.
