Background. Inflammation plays an important role in the initiation of atherosclerosis from the beginning of plaque to rupture cause Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) indicator of systemic inflammation in ACS. Risk stratification was needed for assessment and selection of initial invasive strategies and find the best strategy in ACS. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores recommended risk stratification of ACS. Aims of the study to determine the association and cut-off value NLR with risk stratification GRACE score. Method. This study is analytical with a cross-sectional retrospective design. Data were analyzed after distribution test, then mean difference and correlation test was using the SPPS program where p <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results. This study showed significantly higher NLR value in the high risk stratification and intermediate-risk compared to low risk stratification (7.9 ± 2.7 vs 3.6 ± 1.7; p=0.001) (5.2 ± 2.3 vs 3.6 ± 1.7; p=0.018). Significant correlation between NLR ​​with GRACE scores (r=0.570; p<0.001). Significant AUC values ​​were obtained (0.782, p <0.001, IK95% 0.674-0.89), and cut-off values NLR 4 ​​with sensitivity (78.8%) and specificity (70.3%) on the GRACE score. Conclusion. The significant association between NLR ​​with GRACE risk score in ACS.

Introduction: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) has morbidity and mortality significantly increase, it requires risk stratification for the assessment and selection of initial invasive strategies. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores recommended as risk stratification of ACS. Some of studies found that the combination of GRACE scores with other clinical and laboratory parameters can increase predictive value of ACS. Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio (PLR) and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) act as parameter of systemic inflammation in ACS. Aims of the study to determine the association between PLR and NLR with risk stratification GRACE score. Method: This study is analytical with a cross-sectional retrospective design. This study included 70 patients with a diagnosis of ACS based on medical record data. Data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: This study was found a positive correlation between PLR and NLR with the GRACE score of patients ACS (r=0.485, p<0.001; r=0.570, p<0.001). The PLR and NLR were both found the significantly higher in the high risk GRACE score respectively (188 ± 47, p < 0.001; 7.9± 2.7, p<0.001). The ROC curve analysis, cutt-off PLR of 123 and above (sensitivity of 72.7 %; specificity of 70.3), while cutt-off NLR of 4 and above (sensitivity of 78.8%; specificity of 70.3%) to detect high risk GRACE score. Conclusion: There is a significant association between PLR and NLR with GRACE score Keywords: Platelet Lymphocyte Ratio, Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio, GRACE score, Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Objective Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with several clinical syndromes, one of which is acute non-ST-segment ACS (NSTE-ACS). S100A1 is a calcium-dependent regulator of heart contraction and relaxation. We investigated the association between the serum S100A1 level and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) risk score in patients with NSTE-ACS and the potential of using the serum S100A1 level to predict the 30-day prognosis of NSTE-ACS. Methods The clinical characteristics of 162 patients with NSTE-ACS were analyzed to determine the GRACE score. The serum S100A1 concentration was determined using fasting antecubital venous blood. The patients were divided into different groups according to the serum S100A1 level, and the 30-day NSTE-ACS prognosis was evaluated using Kaplan–Meier analysis. Results The serum S100A1 levels differed significantly among the groups. Correlation analysis showed that the serum S100A1 level was positively correlated with the GRACE score. Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed that the number of 30-day cardiac events was significantly higher in patients with an S100A1 level of >3.41 ng/mL. Conclusions S100A1 is a potential biomarker that can predict the progression of NSTE-ACS and aid in its early risk stratification and prognosis.

Abstract Background The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is considered an independent predictor of mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) in stable coronary artery disease (SCAD). Also NLR have prognostic value in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). However the diagnostic power of NLR in patients suspected of ACS is still under study Objective is to determine the ability of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio to predict troponin elevation in patients presenting to emergency department with acute coronary syndrome Material and Methods From June 2018 to March 2019, 100 patients were enrolled who presented to the ER with NST-ACS. Patients were divided into 2 groups based upon the troponin positivity in the 12- to 24-hour follow-up. Baseline Complete blood count with calculation of NLR is done Results The study population was divided into 2 groups: troponin- negative group (n = 50) and troponin-positive group (n = 50). Mean age was 55.8 ± 11.3. 77% of the patients were male. No significance difference in the level of hemoglobin, WBCs and platelets between the 2 groups. The neutrophil count was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (p &lt; 0.001). The median admission. NLR was significantly higher in the troponin-positive group (2 vs. 3.9, P &lt; 0.001). A cutoff point of 3.4 for NLR measured on admission had 84% sensitivity and 84% specificity in predicting follow-up troponin positivity. A highly significant correlation was found between NLR and level of troponin change (p value &lt;0.01) Conclusion NLR can be used as a diagnostic tool in the differentiation of patients with acute coronary syndrome. NLR is a non-expensive, simple and available parameter that can be used in diagnosis of NSTEMI.

An increased systemic and local inflammation plays a key role in the pathophysiology of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This review will discuss the role of hematological indices: white blood cells (WBC), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), and platelet indices, that is, platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) in the case of ACS. In recent years, a strong interest has been drawn to these indices, given that they may provide independent information on pathophysiology, risk stratification, and optimal management. Their low-cost and consequent wide and easy availability in daily clinical practice have made them very popular in the laboratory testing. Furthermore, many studies have pointed at their effective prognostic value in all-cause mortality, major cardiovascular events, stent thrombosis, arrhythmias, and myocardial perfusion disorders in terms of acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina. The most recent research also emphasizes their significant value in the combined analysis with other markers, such as troponin, or with GRACE, SYNTAX, and TIMI scores, which improve risk stratification and diagnosis in ACS patients.
