Association of Monocyte-to-HDL Cholesterol Ratio with Cardiac Syndrome X is Linked to Systemic Inflammation
Abstract
Introduction:
The aim of this study was to investigate an easily
available inflammatory marker and monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol ratio (MHR) in patients with cardiac syndrome X (CSX).
Patients
and Methods: The study population included 100 patients of
which 50 had CSX (CSX group) and 50 had normal coronary angiograms (control
group).
Results: Total
white blood cell (WBC) count, monocyte count, neutrophil count, NLR,
high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), C-reactive protein (CRP) and MHR
were higher in the CSX group (p< 0.05), whereas high-density lipoprotein
cholesterol (HDL-C) level was significantly lower in the CSX group as compared
with that in the control group (p< 0.05). In the correlation analysis, MHR
revealed a significantly positive correlation with hs-CRP (r= 0.375, p<
0.001) and CRP (r= 0.403, p< 0.001). In the multivariate logistic regression
analysis, MHR was independently associated with the presence of CSX (odds
ratio: 1.250, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.240-1.461, p< 0.001). Using a
cut-off level of 90.6, pre-procedural MHR predicted the presence of slow
coronary flow (SCF) with a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 70%.
