Assessment of Inflammatory Hematological Ratios (NLR, PLR, MLR, LMR and Monocyte/HDL–Cholesterol Ratio) in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Particularities in Young Patients

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease, particularly coronary artery disease (CAD), remains a predominant cause of mortality globally. Factors such as atherosclerosis and inflammation play significant roles in the pathogenesis of CAD. The nexus between inflammation and CAD is underscored by the role of immune cells, such as neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages. These cells orchestrate the inflammatory process, a core component in the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis. The activation of these pathways and the subsequent lipid, fibrous element, and calcification accumulation can result in vessel narrowing. Hematological parameters derived from routine blood tests offer insights into the underlying inflammatory state. Recent studies have highlighted the potential of inflammatory hematological ratios, such as the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio, platelet/lymphocyte ratio, monocyte/lymphocyte ratio and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio. These parameters are not only accessible and cost-effective but also mirror the degree of systemic inflammation. Several studies have indicated a correlation between these markers and the severity, prognosis, and presence of CAD. Despite the burgeoning interest in the relationship between inflammatory markers and CAD, there remains a paucity of data exploring these parameters in young patients with acute myocardial infarction. Such data could offer valuable insights into the unique pathophysiology of early-onset CAD and improve risk assessment and predictive strategies.
