Predictive accuracy of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio and monocyte-to-high-density-lipoprotein-cholesterol ratio in determining the slow flow/no-reflow phenomenon in patients with non–ST-elevated myocardial infarction

Objective To investigate whether inflammation based scores including neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte to monocyte ratio (LMR) and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) predict the slow flow (SF)/no-reflow (NR) phenomenon comparatively in patients with non–ST-elevated Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Current study is retrospective designed and includes 426 NSTEMI patients (mean age of 56.8 ± 11.4 years). The patients were grouped into non slow flow/no-reflow and slow flow/no-reflow groups according to postintervention thrombolysis in myocardial infarction flow grade. Results The slow flow/no-reflow group had significantly higher MHR and lower LMR values than the non slow flow/no-reflow group (P
