“…In this study, we found that WBC count was associated with MACE-free survival rate at longterm follow-up, but it did not predict outcomes. These findings are consistent with previous studies showing the prognostic role of leukocyte differentials, including total WBC count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte, or neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with STEMI [22][23][24][25], NSTE-ACS [8], or NSTEMI [26]. Although the prognostic value of total WBC count has been reported in previous literatures, the superiority of WMR over WBC count was demonstrated in the present study by both the stronger probability of MACE-free survival rate and the multivariate analysis.…”

“…Age > 70 years has remained a major independent predictor of in-hospital cardiovascular mortality in many STEMI prognosis studies [21]. Similar to our cohort where NLR > 7.4 was independently associated with systolic heart failure, studies have shown that increased neutrophil count has been reliably associated with increased MI size and decreased left ventricular function [22]. Evidence of CHF with elevated BNP levels is associated with poor prognosis due to increased myocardial damage [23].…”

“…In addition, the protective effects of CAPE against myocardial and hepatic injuries have been shown, which are partly mediated by the inhibition of inflammatory responses (27,28). The data obtained from recent studies showed that the leukocyte and neutrophil counts directly reflect the extent of myocardial damage in humans (29). In a similar way, researchers have demonstrated that neutrophils may contribute to tissue injury by the release of leukotrienes, free oxygen radicals and hydrolytic enzymes in ISO induced MI (11,30).…”
