Key result
Higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is associated with increased LVMI and LVH in newly diagnosed hypertension.
Why the study?
The associations between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and different left ventricular geometric patterns in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension were not well established.

Is neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) associated with different left ventricular geometric patterns in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension?
This study investigates whether the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio can serve as a predictor for left ventricular hypertrophy patterns in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension.
Concentric or eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is an independent prognostic factor of major cardiovascular events in hypertension (HT). A high neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is correlated with high mortality and poor prognosis in cardiovascular disease. This study was performed to investigate the associations between NLR and different left ventricular (LV) geometric patterns in patients with newly diagnosed HT.

Afşin et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Newly diagnosed essential hypertension (n=222). Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) vs. Normal left ventricular geometry and concentric remodeling was evaluated on Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) (β = 5.440, 95% CI 9.259-21.715, p=<0.001). Higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio was independently correlated with increased left ventricular mass index (β = 5.440) and predicted left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with newly diagnosed hypertension.
