Decreased platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio as predictor of thrombogenesis in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation.

CONCLUSION: The PLR was lower in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and with a decreased LAA-FV. Its correlation with left atrial strain might indicate the role of inflammation in the progression of atrial remodeling and in the prothrombotic state.
