Correlation Between RC/HDL-C Ratio and Ct-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve in Coronary Heart Disease Patients with Critical Lesions
[Objective]To investigate the effect of remnant cholesterol(RC)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)ratio on coronary computed tomography-derived fractional flow reserve(FFRct)in coronary heart disease(CHD)patients with critical lesions.[Methods]A retrospective study was done on patients who were admitted to our de-partment and underwent coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022.All the 304 culprit vessels from the 219 patients with moderate coronary artery stenosis(50%~70%)were divided in-to FFRct ischemia group(FFRct≤0.8,N=108)and FFRct non-ischemia group(FFRct>0.8,N=111).Multivariate logis-tic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of FFRct≤0.8 in CHD patients with critical lesions.Re-ceiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of RC/HDL-C for FFRct≤0.8.Pear-son correlation analysis was used to assess whether there was a correlation between RC/HDL-C and FFRct.[Results]There were significantly more diabetic patients in FFRct ischemia group(P<0.001).RC/HDL-C ratio,levels of RC,non-HDL-C,APOB,HbA1c and FPG in FFRct ischemic group were significantly increased(P<0.05).Pearson correlation analysis showed that the RC/HDL-C ratio,levels of RC,Non-HDL-C,TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C,LP(a),HbA1c,and FPG were all significantly negatively correlated with FFRct values(P<0.05).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes mellitus,RC/HDL-C ratio,levels of RC,non-HDL-C,TG,LP(a),HbA1c and FPG were significantly correlated with FFRct≤0.8(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that RC/HDL-C ratio was a predictor of FFRct≤0.80(OR=4.682,95%CI 1.197~18.316,P<0.05).[Conclusions]RC/HDL-C ratio is independently correlated with FFRct≤0.8 in CHD patients with moderate stenosis and it is a potential indicator for evaluating coronary functional ischemia.
