Abstract

A reader read our article published in Journal of Geriatric Cardiology which entitled “Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio compared to N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide as a prognostic marker of adverse events in elderly patients with chronic heart failure”, and put forward some questions. We have read with great interest the reader’s letter that addresses several important topics.
- Chronic heart failure,
- Major cardiovascular events Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
