Prognostic Utility of Monocyte to High-Density Lipoprotein Ratio in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome: A Meta-Analysis.
The monocyte to high-density lipoprotein ratio (MHR) has been used to predict adverse clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the prognostic utility of MHR in patients with ACS. ⋯ Elevated MHR is independently associated with an increased risk of MACE and all-cause mortality in patients with ACS. MHR may serve as a potential prognostic indicator for ACS prognosis.
