Elevated Admission Total Leukocyte Count in Young Patients with Coronary Artery Disease: A Potential Marker of Inflammation and Cardiovascular Risk
Abstract: Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) in young individuals is increasingly recognized as a major health concern. Inflammation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CAD, and Total Leukocyte Count (TLC) has been suggested as a potential biomarker of inflammatory burden. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between elevated TLC and CAD in young patients, assessing its potential as a predictive marker of cardiovascular risk. Methodology: This cross - sectional observational study was conducted at Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital, Prayagraj, involving patients aged 18 - 45 years presenting with chest pain and subsequently diagnosed with CAD. Clinical history, physical examination, and laboratory investigations, including elevated admission TLC levels, were recorded. Patients were categorized into two groups based on elevated admission TLC levels: elevated admission TLC (?10, 000/mm?) and Normal TLC (
