The relationship between remnant cholesterol and young-onset myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Remnant cholesterol (RC) has emerged as a novel therapeutic target beyond low-destiny-lipoproteins cholesterol (LDL-c). While elevated RC levels are strongly associated with cardiovascular disease risk in the general population, their specific role in young-onset acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains insufficiently explored and warrants further investigation.

Methods

This retrospective study included AMI patients with T2DM admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2018 to 2022. Patients were stratified into tertiles according to RC levels and compared using thresholds derived the commanded values from the PREDIMED cohort study. The primary outcome was young-onset AMI.
