Association of neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio with long-term mortality after ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention
X Shen, C Qi, H LI - Chinese medical journal, 2010 - journals.lww.com
Background Primary percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) have been proposed as a
novel superior management strategy in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction
(STEMI). This study tested the hypothesis that in the acute phase of myocardial infarction
with ST-segment elevation, the neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio is a predictor of long-term
prognosis. Methods We analyzed 551 consecutive STEMI patients treated with primary PCI
at a single university center. Patients were stratified according to quartiles of the mean …
