Angiographic severity in acute coronary syndrome patients with and without standard modifiable risk factors.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Routine coronary artery disease (CAD) secondary prevention strategies target standard modifiable cardiovascular risk factors (SMuRFs), which include: diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and smoking. However, a significant proportion of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) present without any SMuRFs. The angiographic severity of disease in this population has not yet been investigated.

Methods

After propensity score matching of patients without SMuRFs and patients with ≥1 SMuRFs (ratio 1:3), we used zero-inflated negative binomial regression modeling to investigate the relationship of SMuRF-less status with the angiographic severity of CAD, as measured by the SYNTAX score. Survival analysis was performed to investigate differences in all-cause mor
