The correlation of atherogenic index of plasma with non-obstructive CAD and unfavorable prognosis among patients diagnosed with MINOCA.
The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is linked to lipid metabolism and has shown considerable prognostic value in cardiovascular disorders. However, its role in myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) has not been investigated. We assessed the relationship between AIP, the severity of coronary stenosis, and prognosis in MINOCA. ⋯ AIP exhibits a notable association with the incidence of MACE in MINOCA patients and serves as a substantial marker for non-obstructive CAD in this patient group.

Recurrence of hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis: A multicenter, prospective cohort study.
There are scarce prospective data on recurrent hypertriglyceridemia-associated acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP). This study aimed to investigate the incidence, potential prognostic factors, and clinical relevance of recurrent HTG-AP. ⋯ Recurrence of HTG-AP is common, especially for younger patients with diabetes. Recurrence necessitated additional hospital readmissions and was associated with compromised quality of life.
