Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio is related to the severity of coronary artery disease and clinical outcome in patients undergoing angiography

BACKGROUND: White blood cell count is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events
and mortality. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a biomarker that can single out
individuals at risk for vascular events. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether NLR adds
additional information beyond that provided by conventional risk factors and biomarkers for
coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and adverse outcome, in a large cohort of
consecutive patients referred for coronary angiography. MATERIALS AND METHODS: NLR …

Arbel et al. are the first group to demonstrate the correlation between Neutrophil/lymphocyte
ratio (NLR) and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD)[1]. NLR is a recent area of
increased research interest with 166 citations in 2012, compared to 87 in 2011 indexed in
the NIH library [2]. This research has been into a wide range of topics, including the use of
NLR in cancer prognostication, cancer chemotherapy susceptibility, identifying high risk
vascular surgical patients, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, Alzheimer's disease and, in one …
