Red cell distribution width and neutrophilto- lymphocyte ratio predict left ventricular dysfunction in acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction

ABSTRACT

Objectives: red cell distribution width [RDW] and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio [NLR] are the two markers used to determine risk of mortality and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with acute myocardial infarction. The relationship between RDW, NLR, and left ventricular [LV] systolic functions has not been reported. In this report, we aimed to investigate the relationship between RDW, NLR, and LV systolic function in anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction [STEMI] patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention [PCI]
