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.
