Automated quantitation of peripheral blood neutrophil activation in patients with myocardial ischaemia
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Coronary ischaemic syndromes are associated with neutrophil activation. The Bayer automated haematology analysers can detect increased light scatter of neutrophil populations, which correlates with neutrophil activation. We aimed to assess the role of an automated analyser in detecting systemic neutrophil activation in peripheral blood samples of patients with coronary ischaemia.
METHODS: A prospective cross-sectional study was …
