Özet
AimThe neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inexpensive, readily available and reliable inflammatory marker which has a predictor value in different cardiovascular disorders. Functional capacity is one of the most important prognostic factor in patients with heart failure. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between NLR and functional capacity (FC) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC).MethodsTreadmill test according to modified-Bruce protocol was performed in 37 patients with IDC (mean age 46.5±11 years, 19% female) to assess their functional capacity. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables were obtained. Hematologic parameters were measured using an automatic blood counter.ResultsThe patients were divided into low (< 5 METs, n= 18) and high (> 5 METs, n= 19) FC groups according to their functional status. There was no significant difference between 2 …
