Circulating Monocyte Count as a Surrogate Marker for Ventricular-Arterial Remodeling and Incident Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.

A more advanced age, female sex, larger BMI, greater CCAD, higher leukocyte counts (including total WBC, segmented, and monocyte counts, but not lymphocyte count), and the presence of hypertension and CVD all independently predicted composite endpoint of all-cause mortality and HF admission using a backward stepwise regression analysis (all p < 0.05), with higher fasting sugar showing a borderline significance ( Table 3 ).
