Abstract
Objective: There is an apparent link between thrombus formation and inflammation. Monocyte/HDL ratio (MHR) has been determined as an inflammatory marker and associated with many cardiovascular disorders like coronary artery disease, acute coronary stent thrombus, coronary thrombus burden and atrial fibrillation (AF). The purpose of this study was to elucidate the association between MHR and left atrial appendage thrombus formation (AATF) in patients with acute ischemic stroke.
 Methods: A total of 69 patients with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke were retrospectively enrolled in the study. Demographic, clinical and echocardiographic data were collected retrospectively from the patients’ records. MHR and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) were calculated from the present laboratory data.
 Results: There was a significant positive correlation between MHR and NLR (r=0.6; p
