Research Article: The Combined Effect of Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index and Type Diabetes Mellitus on the Prognosis of Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Large-Scale Cohort Study
Abstract:
Atherosclerosis is identified as a chronic, low-grade inflammatory condition accompanied by autoimmune responses involving both the innate and adaptive immune systems., Numerous observational studies have probed the prognostic value of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD),, and several anti-inflammatory clinical trials have further confirmed the causal relationship between inflammation and CAD. The growth of atherosclerotic lesion is characterized by an imbalance between inflammation and its resolving, with various types of blood cells playing distinct roles in this intricate pathological process. A previous study has indicated that elevated neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was associated with adverse prognosis for CAD patients, especially in those with type diabetes mellitus (TDM). Recent research has also highlighted the involvement of platelets in the recruitment and activation of leukocytes and mediate leukocyte-endothelium adhesion, which play a crucial role in the progression of atherosclerosis., The uncontrolled and excessive activation of leukocytes and platelets generates a vicious circle, resulting in plaque instability and vessel occlusion. Therefore, both leukocytes and platelets significantly contribute to the initiation and progression of CAD.
