The relationship of Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio and Platelet-to-Lymphocyte Ratio in peripheral blood with ST-segment resolution and the clinical outcomes of STEMI patients receiving thrombolytic therapy
Abstract
Introduction. One of the inflammatory factors affecting the prognosis of myocardial infarction is the high level of neutrophil count in the blood. In this study, we investigated the relationship of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) in peripheral blood with ST-segment resolution and clinical outcomes of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) receiving thrombolytic therapy.
