Özet
Objectives: It has been shown that the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (N/L ratio) is associated with cardiovascular events and mortality. In this study, we investigated the N/L ratio in patients with coronary artery ectasia (CAE). Study design: Fifty patients (29 men, 21 women; mean age, 51.1+/-7.1 years) diagnosed as CAE using coronary angiography were included in the study. The control group consisted of 28 patients (16 men, 12 women; mean age, 49.5+/-9.4 years) who had normal coronary arteries as determined by coronary angiography. Baseline characteristics were recorded. The number of ectatic segments was noted. Hematologic parameters were measured and the N/L ratio was calculated. Results: The N/L ratio was significantly higher in the CAE group compared with the control group (median [25-75% percentile] 2.2 [1.6-3.0] vs. 1.8 [1.4-2.0], p=0.014, respectively). The Spearman correlation analysis demonstrated that the N/L ratio positively
