Lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio associated with severe post-stenotic aortic dilation in a case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) represents a serious health threat to elderly patients. Post-stenotic aortic dilation, a common feature in CAVS patients, might progress into aneurysm and even dissection, potential consequences of CAVS, and predicts a poor prognosis. This study sought to investigate the association of lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), an inflammatory biomarker, with severe post-stenotic aortic dilation in a case-control study in Chinese population.

Materials and methods

208 consecutive patients with CAVS were recruited retrospectively in a case-control study in Chinese population, from July 1, 2015 to June 31, 2018. LMR was statistically analyzed using the ROC curve and binary logistic regression analyses for its prognostic value in severe
