Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality among diabetic patients, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has recently emerged from among inflammatory parameters as a potential indicator of vascular complications and poorer outcome in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate: 1) the impact of diabetes on NLR; and 2) the role of NLR on the extent of CAD among diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality among diabetic patients, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has recently emerged from among inflammatory parameters as a potential indicator of vascular complications and poorer outcome in patients with diabetes. This study aimed to evaluate: 1) the impact of diabetes on NLR; and 2) the role of NLR on the extent of CAD among diabetic patients undergoing coronary angiography.File in questo prodotto:
