Why the study?
The relationship between the triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and the risk of acute myocardial infarction in young adults had not been sufficiently evaluated.
Is elevated triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio associated with acute myocardial infarction at a younger age?
Population
621 patients undergoing coronary angiography due to MI
Comparison
Younger patients vs older patients with MI
Design
Propensity score-matched observational study

TG/HDL ratio may mark AMI risk in young adults; leaves open incremental value beyond standard lipids.
Is elevated triglyceride/high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio associated with acute myocardial infarction at a younger age?
Elevated Tg/HDL ratio is significantly higher in young adults presenting with acute myocardial infarction compared to older patients, suggesting it may be a predictor for early-onset acute coronary syndrome.
