Abstract:
Atherosclerosis, the clinically manifested form of cardiovascular disease (CVD), mainly accounts for most deaths worldwide. Inflammatory disorders that elevate CVD risk have been associated with circulating inflammatory markers that encompass neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which could be employed as an economical prognostic tool for the diagnosis of the same. Hence, this study focused on assessing the extrapolative implication of NLR among ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) patients. The observational study included 55 STEMI patients (Mean age – 52.08 years) at Thanjavur medical college (December 2015 to February 2016). The patients were delineated into two groups based on NLR values (high & #62;3.0 and low & #60;3.0). Among the 55 patients, the post-MI complication was observed in 44 subjects, among which 10% of them expressed a high NLR value. A notable proportion of patients displaying arrhythmia and LV dysfunction had higher NLR values. Henceforth, the study reveals the independent and vital prognostic association between NLR and atherosclerosis that could be designated as a reliable marker in the early diagnosis of the disease as well post MI complications.
