Insights

High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)-related inflammatory indices can predict repeat revascularization after stenting. These markers, including monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio, are valuable for assessing risk in patients undergoing coronary procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Inflammation Biomarkers
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Repeat revascularization (RR) is a concern after coronary stenting.
  • HDL-C-related inflammatory indices are being investigated as potential predictors of RR.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the predictive value of HDL-C-related inflammatory indices for RR after coronary drug-eluting stenting.
  • To identify specific indices associated with increased RR risk.

Main Methods:

  • Multivariable Cox regression analysis was employed.
  • Restricted cubic splines and receiver operating curve analyses were utilized.
  • Patient data with a median follow-up of 50 months were analyzed.

Main Results:

  • 521 patients (35.42%) experienced RR.
  • Higher monocyte-to-HDL-C, neutrophil-to-HDL-C, and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratios were associated with increased RR incidence.
  • The largest tertiles of monocyte-to-HDL-C, neutrophil-to-HDL-C, white blood cell-to-HDL-C, and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratios increased RR risk by 38%, 30%, 28%, and 37%, respectively.
  • Monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio showed a dose-responsive and linear correlation with RR.
  • HDL-C-related inflammatory indices demonstrated over 60% predictive ability.

Conclusions:

  • HDL-C-related inflammatory indices independently predict RR after coronary drug-eluting stenting.
  • These indices serve as valuable biomarkers for risk stratification in post-stenting patients.
