Abstract :

AIM: The aim of this study was to quantify and determine the significance of neutrophil count, lymphocyte count and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio in acute coronary syndrome patients.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective study done in department of general medicine, Government Medical College, Omandurar Govt. Estate for period of one year from march 2016 to march 2017.All participants are subjected to detailed history, physical examination, bio chemical and radiological investigations as per the well–designed proforma. To categorize them to STEMI (ST–elevation myocardial infarction), NSTEMI (Non–ST–elevation myocardial infarction)or UA (Unstable Angina) and then calculated the neutrophil count ,lymphocyte count and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio ,in all groups . Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 16 software.

Results:Using multiple comparison by ANOVA, there was no statistically significant difference in neutrophil lymphocyte ratio among the study groups. But compå the mean of neutrophil lymphocyte ratio of the patients who have expired and those who have survived, the difference in neutrophil lymphocyte ratio was statistically significant with a p value of 0.002.
