An association between white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio , and inflammatory process is well known . Ischemic preconditioning reduces the inflammation
Preliminary evidence has suggested the role of inflammation in development and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases and cancers. Most of the prognostic studies failed to account for the effects of co-morbid conditions as these might have raised the systemic inflammation. We used neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a measure of systemic inflammation and investigated its association with cardiac preconditioning in open heart surgery .
