Triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio may serve as a useful predictor of major adverse coronary event in female revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction.
BACKGROUND: Elevated triglyceride to high density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio has been identified as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance and an independent predictor for cardiovascular events in the general population. However, the prognostic value of TG/HDL-C ratio in revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients remains unclear. We examined the association between TG/HDL-C ratio and clinical outcome of revascularized STEMI patients in the Chinese population.
METHODS: 464 STEMI patients who underwent successful revascularization were enrolled to determine the relationship between TG/HDL-C ratio and major adverse coronary events(MACEs) with a 30-month follow-up. The Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression proportional hazard model were applied to assess the prognostic value of TG/HDL-C ratio.
RESULTS: TG/HDL-C ratio was found to be significantly associated with age (p = 0.017), history of diabetes(p = 0.017), heart rate(p = 0.011), TG(p < 0.001), HDL-C(p < 0.001) and Gensini score(p = 0.034). The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that elevated TG/HDL-C ratio was an independent prognostic factor for MACE in female patients (HR = 2.624,95%CI = 1.211-5.687,p = 0.014) but not in male patients(HR = 0.756, 95%CI = 0.484-1.179,p = NS) after adjustment with other MACE-related prognostic factors.
CONCLUSION: The TG/HDL-C ratio may be independently associated with MACEs in female revascularized STEMI patients in the Chinese population.
