Association between neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes has become a global pandemic, posing a sustained threat to human health, primarily due to its associated complications. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a prevalent cardiac complication among patients with diabetes. Since most patients are asymptomatic and lack relevant biomarkers, LVDD has not attracted significant attention from clinicians. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a widely studied inflammation biomarker that has been suggested to be linked to various medical conditions, including cardiac diseases. However, its association with LVDD among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has not been explored.

Aim

To clarify the relationship between NLR and LVDD among patients with type 2 diabetes.
