Abstract

We have read with a great interest the published article by Ghaffari et al. entitled with "The predictive value of total neutrophil count and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in predicting in-hospital mortality and complications after STEMI". Authors have suggested that complete blood count (CBC) test might help to identify ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients and higher neutrophil count had the best predictive value for both mortality and heart failure. We believe some points should be discussed.
