Association of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio with the no-reflow phenomenon in patients who underwent a primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-elevation myocardial infarction

Abstract

Our results suggested that LMR could be a simple and useful marker to predict high risk of patients for no-reflow in patients with STEMI who underwent primary PCI.

Monocyte/lymphocyte ratio as a better predictor of cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality in hemodialysis patients: A prospective cohort study

“…39 Furthermore, some studies suggested that lower LMR in the peripheral blood was a novel marker of localized ischemia lesions including limb 40 and myocardium. 41 As for those who had an acute heart failure episode, a lower value of LMR was also independently associated with a higher risk of mortality within 6 months. 42 Besides the correlation with CVD, LMR also showed an independent predictive value of mortality in chronic infection diseases such as hepatitis B virus-related liver cirrhosis of which the major death is bacterial infections.…”

“…As the reciprocal of MLR, lymphocyte‐to‐monocyte ratio (LMR) defined as the absolute lymphocyte count divided by the absolute monocyte count has been paid more attention to and was first reported to be a poor prognostic factor in patients with hematologic malignancies and then nonhematologic solid tumors . Furthermore, some studies suggested that lower LMR in the peripheral blood was a novel marker of localized ischemia lesions including limb and myocardium . As for those who had an acute heart failure episode, a lower value of LMR was also independently associated with a higher risk of mortality within 6 months .…”

Relation between lymphocyte to monocyte ratio and short‐term mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism

“…12 Marchena et al observed that increased IL-6 levels were related with mortality in patients with APE. 21 Lymphopenia is associated with worse outcomes and complications after acute myocardial infarction. 14 Also, Kaya et al showed that soluble CD40 ligand was elevated in acute PE.…”

An hs-TNT Second Peak Associated with High CRP at Day 2 Appears as Potential Biomarkers of Micro-Vascular Occlusion on Magnetic Resonance Imaging after Reperfused ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

“…By the way, CMR provides ventricular function and volumes [9], but its availability remains a problem, urging for identification of alternative markers of bad outcomes, and several biomarkers have been evaluated to assess MVO [10][11][12][13].…”
