Background: Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a new prognostic marker in patients with chronic stable angina (CSA). NLR is a cheap, easily available, non-invasive and routinely done procedure to predict the severity of coronary artery disease.Methods: 110 patients with stable coronary artery disease were evaluated to calculate the NLR from January, 2016 to September, 2016. The patients were divided into two groups: Group I NLR>2.38 and group II NLRd”2.38. Coronary angiogram was done during index hospitalization. The severity of the coronary artery disease was assessed by vessel score and Gensini score and was compared between the groups.Results: NLR was significantly higher in the group of high vessel score and high Gensini score. We found significant weak association between NLR and vessel score (r=0.30, p=0.004) and a moderate positive correlation between NLR and Gensini score (r =0.65, P=0.001). With the increase of NLR, vessel score and Gensini score increases demonstrating more severe coronary artery disease. Univariate logistic regression analysis of variables of interest revealed that age, hypertension, dyslipidemia, serum creatinine, total WBC count and NLR were independent predictor of severe coronary artery disease with odds ratio (OR) being 1.88, 3.93, 5.01, 5.54, 4.05 and 5.70 respectively. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, after adjustment of factors NLR remain independent predictors of severe CSA (OR = 5.73; p = 0.002).Conclusion: Increased neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is associated with angiographically severe coronary artery disease in chronic stable angina and this association is independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors.Cardiovasc. j. 2018; 10(2): 164-170

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in renal impaired patients. Many of the patients of chronic kidney disease die of cardiovascular disease before requiring dialysis. Cardiovascular disease in renal impaired patient is potentially preventable and treatable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between renal impairment and coronary artery disease severity in chronic stable angina patients. Methods: 110 patients with chronic stable angina who got admitted for coronary angiography were included in the study. They were divided into impaired renal function group (with estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <90 ml/min/1.73m2) and normal renal function group (eGFR e” 90 ml/min/1.73m2) on the basis of eGFR. The severity of the CAD was assessed by angiographic Vessel score and Gensini score. Results: Mean Gensini score was significantly high in impaired renal function group (42.30±24.9 vs 25.65±17.9, p <0.05). There was significant negative correlation between eGFR and vessel score (r=-0.30, p <0.05) and between eGFR and Gensini score (r =-0.65, P <0.05). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, after adjustment of factors eGFR remain independent predictors of severe CAD (P=0.002, OR -5.73). Conclusion: Impaired renal function, assessed by eGFR is associated with angiographic severe coronary artery disease in chronic stable angina patients and this association is independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

The pathophysiology of accelerated atherosclerosis in people living with Human Immunofediciency virus (HIV) is complex. Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become an important cause of mortality in these patients. They often have atypical symptoms, leading to frequently missed diagnoses. We report a case of a 51-year-old male undergoing antiretroviral therapy who was admitted for acute coronary syndrome. He had severe coronary artery disease that involved difficult management.
