ObjectiveThe study investigated the link between the homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and myocardial infarction (MI) parameters, highlighting its role as a potential MI biomarker in Southern Saudi patients.MethodsThis cross-sectional study conducted from January to April 2021 at the Prince Faisal Bin Khalid Cardiac Center, Abha, Saudi Arabia, examined cardiovascular and diabetic biomarkers, including HOMA-IR, in MI patients and controls to assess insulin resistance (IR), risk, and diagnostic accuracy.ResultsMI patients showed significantly elevated HOMA-IR, leptin, resistin, body mass index (BMI), and glucose-complexed hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels compared with controls in both genders ( < 0.0001). HbA1c was strongly associated with HOMA-IR, whereas age, BMI, leptin, and resistin showed weak correlations. Elevated HOMA-IR increased MI risk and demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy.ConclusionsElevated HOMA-IR was identified as an early indicator of the onset of MI, whereas serum leptin and resistin levels exhibited a positive association with IR in patients with MI. Moreover, serum leptin, resistin, and elevated HOMA-IR may independently contribute to the risk of MI.
目的
本研究调查了胰岛素抵抗稳态模型评估(HOMA-IR)与心肌梗死(MI)参数之间的联系,强调了其作为沙特南部患者潜在MI生物标志物的作用。
方法
本横断面研究于2021年1月至4月在沙特阿拉伯阿卜哈的费萨尔·本·哈立德王子心脏中心进行,检测了MI患者和对照组的心血管和糖尿病生物标志物,包括HOMA-IR,以评估胰岛素抵抗(IR)、风险和诊断准确性。
结果
与对照组相比,MI患者的HOMA-IR、瘦素、抵抗素、体重指数(BMI)和糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)水平在男女两性中均显著升高(<0.0001)。HbA1c与HOMA-IR密切相关,而年龄、BMI、瘦素和抵抗素显示出较弱的相关性。HOMA-IR升高增加了MI风险,并显示出较高的诊断准确性。
结论
HOMA-IR升高被确定为MI发病的早期指标,而血清瘦素和抵抗素水平在MI患者中与IR呈正相关。此外,血清瘦素、抵抗素和升高的HOMA-IR可能独立导致MI风险。
