Abstract

Purpose: It has been known that inflammatory mechanisms play an important role in the coronary artery disease. Our aim in this study was to investigate the relationship between the neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio and coronary flow velocity after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
