Excerpt
Systemic inflammatory responses play an important role in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD), worsening the prognosis of the patients. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are novel inflammatory biomarkers that predict plaque vulnerability, severe stenosis, and long-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in CAD patients [
