Sex-specific differences in the effect of lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio on subclinical myocardial injury in the general population free from cardiovascular disease

The Lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) combines information on immune and inflammatory status. Lymphocytes reflect immune health, while C-reactive protein (CRP) signals systemic inflammation. Some studies have linked LCR with cardiovascular outcomes, suggesting it could help identify at-risk individuals. However, its clinical utility needs further research validation. To investigate the association between lymphocyte-to-C-reactive protein ratio (LCR) and subclinical myocardial injury (SC-MI) in individuals who are free from cardiovascular disease (CVD) within the general population.
