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.
Abstract:
Background: HDL-C-related inflammatory indices are potential predictors of repeat revascularization (RR) after coronary drug-eluting stenting. Methods: Multivariable Cox regression with restricted cubic splines and receiver operating curve was used. Results: The median follow-up was 50 months. A total of 521 (35.42%) patients experienced RR. The incidence of RR was positively associated with the monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio, neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratio (log-rank p < 0.05). After being fully adjusted, the largest tertile of monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio, neutrophil-to-HDL-C ratio, white blood cell-to-HDL-C ratio and lymphocyte-to-HDL-C ratio increased the risk by 38, 30, 28 and 37%, respectively. Monocyte-to-HDL-C ratio was dose-responsive and linearly correlated with RR. HDL-C-related inflammatory indices had over 60% predictive ability. Conclusion: HDL-C-related inflammatory indices independently predicted RR after coronary drug-eluting stenting.
