Does Monocyte/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio Predict Saphenous Vein Graft Patency in Patients with Stable Angina Pectoris?
Abstract
Introduction:
Circulating monocyte count is a predictive factor of new
atherosclerotic plaque development. In addition, there is a strong inverse
relationship between high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and
atherosclerosis. It has been shown that the monocyte/HDL cholesterol ratio
(MHR) is a novel inflammatory marker. We aimed to investigate the relationship
between MHR and saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD).
Patients
and Methods: A total of 3 69 patients were divided into 3 groups
(positive SVGD group= 150, negative SVGD group= 89, normal coronary artery
group= 130). Baseline characteristics and laboratory parameters were recorded
and compared among the groups.
Results: There were no significant differences between the positive and negative
SVGD groups, except for age of SVG and left ventricular ejection fraction,
according to baseline characteristics. C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, fasting
blood glucose levels and mean platelet volume were higher in the positive SVGD
group than in the negative SVGD group (p= 0.008, 0.048 and 0.042,
respectively). MHR was not significantly different between the positive and
negative SVGD groups (p= 0.169) and normal coronary artery group (p= 0.364).
CRP was found to be an independent predictor factor of SVGD.
