Is higher neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio related to a lower ejectionfraction in bicuspid aortic valve patients?
NLR is associated with ascending aorta diameter and left ventricular ejection fraction in BAV patients with ascending aorta dilatation.
In patients with advanced fibrosis at the start of therapy, liver stiffness is significantly reduced during treatment, but improvement continues off treatment only in patients who achieve a sustained virological response. Liver stiffness assessment earlier than 6months after the end of therapy does not appear to be clinically meaningful.
