Mediating role of neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio in the association between stroke and heart failure among U.S. adults

Background: Stroke is an independent risk factor for heart failure (HF), and they are both linked to systemic inflammation. The neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) is a novel inflammation biomarker. However, it is unclear whether ...
