Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio for Risk Stratification in Acute Myocarditis Across the Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction Spectrum
While traditional definitions of high-risk AM remain valuable, NLR ≥4 is a simple and cost-effective marker that aids in risk stratification. NLR ≥4 is particularly robust in patients with preserved LVEF, supporting its use across the LVEF spectrum.
