Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio as highly predictive marker in patients with acute coronary syndrome
Abstract
Aim: This study examined the relationship between Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) score and monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) with Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Materials & methods: A total of 1000 patients with ACS admitted to the Cardiology Department of the Dustira Army Hospital were included in this study. Medical records were retrospectively reviewed from January 2019 to June 2020 with consecutive sampling. Results: In the group with a higher TIMI score, the MHR result was considerably higher. In the same way, MHR was more significant in the group with a high-risk than in low-risk GRACE. Conclusion: MHR is a convenient, reproducible and correlates with GRACE and TIMI score as predictive biomarkers in patients with ACS.

Lipids Health Dis. 19(1), 59 (2020). • This paper was interesting as it compares the neutrophil to HDL-C ratio (NHR) to other prognostic indices, such as the MHR and the LDL-C to HDL-C ratio (LDL-C/HDL-C) in elderly acute myocardial infarction patients. The findings demonstrates that a higher level of NHR was linked to a higher risk of RMI and long-term mortality. Compared with MHR and LDL-C/HDL-C, NHR has a better predictive value for long-term clinical outcomes in older people.
