Which one of LDL-C /HDL-C ratio and non-HDL-C can better predict the severity of coronary artery disease in STEMI patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The increase of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is widely accepted as an important factor in the occurrence of atherosclerosis. In recent years, the guidelines have recommended non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) as a secondary target for lipid-lowering therapy. But even as research on the relationship between LDL-C/HDL-C and atherosclerosis increases, it is still undetermined which index is most closely related to the severity of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods

901 patients who received coronary angiography due to chest pain were selected. Among them, 772 patients with STEMI represented the test group, and 129 patients with basically normal coronary angiography represented the control group. Researche
