The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-lymphocyte ratio predict left ventricular thrombus resolution in acute myocardial infarction without percutaneous coronary intervention

Left ventricular thrombosis (LVT) is a potentially devastating complication in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Previous studies have demonstrated that inflammation may contribute to thrombus formation, but its role on thrombus resolution is uncertain. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are easily accessible haematological markers of inflammation.
