Abstract

Objectives: We examined the association between neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR) with the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) angina grade of patients in outpatient setting. Materials and Methods: The study population included patients with chest pain who had admitted to our outpatient clinic. The study group consisted of noncardiac chest pain and atypical angina (group 1), CCS class 1 and class 2 angina (group 2) and CCS class 3 and class 4 (group 3) patients. Results: The neutrophil lymphocyte ratio was positively correlated with extent of CAD and angina grade (p 0.05). Conclusion: The NLR is a cheap and practical inflammatory marker and is associated with CCS angina grade of patients in outpatient setting.
