Inflammation and blood cells in cardiovascular diseases
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is still the most important cause of death in developed societies. Atherosclerosis is recognized as a systemic immune inflammatory disease. Inflammation in CAD can be both local and systemic. The main advantage of hematological parameters and indices is that they are relatively inexpensive and therefore common and easy to find in daily clinical practice. In this review, we will try to explain the main hematological parameters and their effects on pathophysiology in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
