Residual Inflammatory and Cholesterol Risk and the Association With Recurrent Cardiovascular Events in East Asian Patients After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The applicability of currently established high-risk inflammatory criteria to East Asian patients is unknown, particularly concerning the hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) cutoff value. In addition, the role of cholesterol and inflammation in determining the prognosis of these patients might shift after the patient accepts lipid-lowering treatments. This study aimed to explore the high-risk hs-CRP cutoff value and compare the prognostic value between inflammation and cholesterol risk in the East Asian population after treatment with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods

Post-PCI patients with serial hs-CRP and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level measurements were retrospectively enrolled. Major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrov
