Abstract: 

Background and Objectives: It is known that neutrophils are involved in the pro-inflammatory processes and thus, can have a great impact on the pathophysiology of heart failure (HF). Moreover, hypercholesterolemia heightens neutrophil production, thereby accelerating cardiovascular inflammation. However, there is a lack of information about the relation of low inflammation to the state of stress, hypercholesterolemia, and pro-thrombotic statement in patients with chronic HF.
