To investigate the relationship between monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and plaque vulnerability assessed by virtual histology intravascular ultrasound in patients with stable angina.
133 patients with stable angina were enrolled.
MLR was found to be an independent risk factor of thin cap fibrous atheroma (OR: 2.61; p = 0.025). MLR could differentiate thin cap fibrous atheroma with a sensitivity of 73.7% and a specificity of 61.8%. MLR level was positively correlated with the percentage of necrotic core (NC) area at the sites of minimum lumen area and the largest NC area, and positively related to the percentage of NC volume.
Circulating MLR level has potential in identifying the vulnerable plaques in the setting of stable angina.
探讨单核细胞与淋巴细胞比值(MLR)与稳定型心绞痛患者经虚拟组织学血管内超声评估的斑块易损性之间的关系。
纳入133例稳定型心绞痛患者。
发现MLR是薄帽纤维粥样斑块的独立危险因素(比值比:2.61;p = 0.025)。MLR能够鉴别薄帽纤维粥样斑块,敏感性为73.7%,特异性为61.8%。MLR水平与最小管腔面积处坏死核心(NC)面积百分比、最大NC面积以及NC体积百分比呈正相关。
循环MLR水平在识别稳定型心绞痛患者的易损斑块方面具有潜力。
