The White Blood Cell Count to Mean Platelet Volume Ratio (WMR) is Associated With Syntax Score in Patients With ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: Background: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the most common reason for mortality worldwide.Scoring systems such as Syntax score plays a significant role in risk stratification in these patients.Besides, as a simple and easily applicable marker, white blood cell count to mean platelet volume ratio (WMR), which could play a vital role in identifying risky patients, has emerged as an indicator of inflammation in atherosclerotic disease.In the current study, we aimed to investigate the predictive role of WMR for Syntax score in patients with STEMI.
