Clinical significance of the monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio in the assessment of imperfect ST-segment resolution in elderly patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction after percutaneous coronary intervention / 中华老年医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To investigate the clinical significance of the monocyte count/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio(MHR)in evaluating imperfect ST-segment resolution in elderly patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).@*Methods@#This was a retrospective cohort study.A total of 274 elderly patients with STEMI underwent PCI in our hospital from December 2015 to December 2018 were enrolled.Based on the extent of the ST-segment resolution of the postoperative electrocardiogram, patients were divided into an imperfect ST-segment resolution group(observation group, n=79)and a favorable ST-segment resolution group(control group, n=195). General clinical data were compared between the two groups, and logistic regression equation was used to analyze the association of MHR with ST-segment resolution.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was performed to assess the predictive value of MHR for imperfect ST-segment resolution.@*Results@#Compared with patients in the control group, patients in the observation group were associated with a significantly higher proportion of anterior wall myocardial infarction and heart failure(≥Killip 2), A longer duration of chest pain to balloon expansion, higher levels of creatine kinase isoenzyme, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, hypersensitive C-reactive protein, blood sugar, blood uric acid, fibrinogen, triglyceride and mononuclear cell count, and lower levels of high density lipoprotein cholesterol and lymphocyte count(all P<0.05). Meanwhile, there was a significant difference in MHR between the observation group and the control group [(0.75±0.22)vs.(0.48±0.19), t=9.831, P=0.001]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that MHR was an independent risk factor for imperfect ST-segment resolution(OR=1.950, 95%CI 1.646-5.430, P=0.003)and ROC curve showed the threshold value of MHR at 0.67, the area under the curve at 0.867, the sensitivity at 79.72%, and the specificity at 79.61%.@*Conclusions@#MHR may be an independent risk factor and a good predictive index for imperfect ST-segment resolution in elderly patients with STEMI after PCI.
