Prognostic Impact of Combined Inflammatory Markers in Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Listen to this summary

The authors investigate the combined prognostic value of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Their findings indicate that patients with elevated levels of both inflammatory markers have the highest incidence of MACE, suggesting that a dual-marker approach may enhance risk stratification post-PCI compared to using either marker alone.
