Abstract:BackgroundHeart failure with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by low-grade chronic inflammation. Circulating neutrophils regroup two subtypes termed high- and low-density neutrophils (HDNs and LDNs). LDNs represent less than 2% of total neutrophil under physiological conditions, but their count increase in multiple pathologies, releasing more inflammatory cytokines and neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs).ObjectivesAssess the differential count and role of HDNs, LDNs and… Show more
