ABSTRACT

Background: Intracoronary thrombus burden is associated with some adverse events and poor prognosis in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Identifying predictors of the intracoronary thrombus burden may contribute to the management of Acute Coronary Syndrome. Objective: To assess the correlation between the Monocyte to HDL Cholesterol ratio with thrombus burden in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome. Patients and Methods: 138 patients with ACS who were admitted to CCU department in National Heart Institute Cairoand Menoufia University Hospitals, Menoufia, underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Angiographic thrombus burden was classified based on thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) thrombus grades. The patients were grouped into 2 categories of low thrombus burden (grades 0 - 3) (49.7%) and high thrombus burden (grades 4 and 5) (50.3%). Results: On analysis we found that the MHR was significantly higher in the high thrombus burden group compared with the low thrombus (0.052 ± 0.019 vs 0.014 ± 0.008); P < 0.001. Conclusion: Among Acute Coronary Syndrome patients underwent Primary PCI, MHR was independent predictor of high thrombus burden in patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.
