Nowadays, heart failure (HF) is a significant health problem due to steady increase in diagnosis, unpredictable acute decompensations and high mortality rate. Early risk stratifications of clinical deterioration are essential in preventing life-threatening events and ensuring proper patients management. Increased neutrophil to lymphocytes ratio (NTLR) above 6 is associated with the risk of re-hospitalizations and increased mortality.
