Is higher Monocyte-to-HDL Cholesterol Ratio (MHR) associated with the presence of slow coronary flow (SCF)?
Higher Monocyte-to-HDL Cholesterol Ratio is associated with slow coronary flow and systemic inflammation, suggesting its potential utility as a biomarker.
Higher MHR which indicates an enhanced inflammation and oxidative stress was significantly and independently associated with the presence of SCF. Besides, MHR was positively correlated with serum hsCRP level as a conventional marker for systemic inflammation.
Canpolat et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
