Aims Platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and neutrophil-tolymphocyte ratio (NLR) are used in the clinical management of patients at cardiovascular (CV) risk. In this pilot study, we aimed at evaluating the predictive role of NLR and PLR toward the occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) across an 18-month follow-up period. Correlations...

Cardiotrophin-1 (CT-1) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) diseases. We investigated the effect of CT-1 deficiency in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in double knockout Apoe−/−ct-1−/− mice. Apoe−/− C57Bl/6 or Apoe−/−ct-1−/− C57Bl/6 mice were fed a normal chow diet (NCD) or a high-cholesterol diet (HCD). After sacrifice,...
