Increased red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with adverse outcomes in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We evaluated the relationship between RDW and severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with AMI. We analyzed the relation between RDW and angiographic severity of CAD. Patients (n = 580) with elevated Syntax scores (SSs >32) had higher RDW values (15.1% +/- 1.7% vs 14.1 +/- 1.7%, P < .001). The SS was positively correlated with RDW level (r = .252, P < .001) and neutrophil/lymphocyte (N/L) ratio (r = .178, P < .001). There was a mild significant association between RDW level and N/L ratio (r = .106, P = .033). In the multiple logistic regression analysis, RDW (odds ratio = 1.165, 95% confidence interval 1.02-1.32, P = .021) remained a significant predictor for the severity of CAD. Red blood cell distribution width, an inexpensive and easily measurable laboratory variable, is independently associated with the severity of CAD in patients with AMI.

Associations of non-HDL-C and triglyceride/HDL-C ratio with coronary plaque burden and plaque characteristics in young adults

Fatih Akin, Ibrahim Altun, Burak Ayca, Nuri Kose, Ilknur Altun

Summary: Coronary plaque burden is positively correlated with non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) levels and triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio in young adults. Serum non-HDL-C levels and TG/HDL-C ratio can be used as easy-to-compute markers for identifying high-risk groups in young adults.

Summary: The NON-HDL-C-to-HDL-C ratio can indicate insulin resistance and atherosclerosis to some extent. This study found that a high ratio is significantly associated with severe coronary artery disease and poor cardiovascular prognosis.

C-Reactive Protein to Albumin Ratio as A Novel Inflammatory-Based Marker for 30-Day Mortality in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Summary: This study found that the C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) can predict early mortality in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), with high sensitivity and specificity. This novel inflammatory marker has the potential to become an important indicator for assessing mortality risk in TAVR patients.

Summary: This study aimed to describe the mid- to long-term consequences of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients after discharge. The study found that persistent symptoms were common among discharged COVID-19 patients, particularly cardiovascular symptoms. Therefore, healthcare professionals should be aware of the aftercare for COVID-19 patients.

Does coexistence of fragmented QRS and cardiovascular disease have the ability to predict the mortality in hospitalized, critically ill patients with COVID-19?

Fahrettin Katkat, Muhsin Kalyoncuoglu, Serkan Karahan, Hanife Abanus, Fatma Nihan Turhan Caglar, Dilay Karabulut, Sinan Varol, Irfan Sahin, Kerem Erkalp, Ertugrul Okuyan

Summary: In critical COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease, older age and comorbidities such as cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and chronic renal failure were associated with increased mortality risk. While the presence of fQRS on baseline ECG was not statistically significant, the coexistence of cardiovascular disease and fQRS independently predicted mortality. Additionally, other factors such as high SOFA score and increased CRP level were also predictive of mortality. This suggests that fQRS could be a valuable tool for risk stratification in identifying high-risk individuals, particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Human neutrophil peptides 1-3 level in patients with acute myocardial infarction and its relation with coronary artery disease severity

Fahrettin Katkat, Sinan Varol, Nilgun Isiksacan, Fatma Nihan Turhan Caglar, Fatih Akin, Dilay Karabulut, Ertugrul Okuyan

Summary: The plasma levels of human neutrophil peptide-1,-2, and-3 (HNP1-3) were significantly higher in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) compared to controls, but did not show a significant correlation with angiographic disease severity. Further studies on larger populations are warranted to explore the relationship between HNP1-3 levels and severity of coronary artery disease.
