Elevated remnant cholesterol predicts poor outcome in patients with premature acute coronary syndrome: a retrospective, single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The association between remnant cholesterol (RC) and recurrent cardiovascular events following acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is well-documented. However, RC-stratified analysis specifically focusing on patients with premature ACS (PACS), defined as initial disease onset occurring at ≤ 55 years of age in men or ≤ 65 years of age in women, remains limited.

Objectives

This study aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics and subsequent cardiovascular events in patients with PACS, comparing those with high RC levels to those with low RC levels.

Methods

In this retrospective cohort study, 820 PACS patients were consecutively recruited between January 2019 and January 2020. RC was calculated as total cholesterol minus high-density lipoprotein cholesterol min
