Background
Previous studies proposed that inflammation, oxidative stress and impaired endothelial dysfunction have a crucial role in occurrence of saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD). The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio (MHR) and serum albumin (SA) level as readily available inflammatory and oxidative stress markers with the presence of saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD) in patients with a coronary bypass.
Methods
In this retrospective cross-sectional study, a total of 257 patients [n=112 SVGD (+) (mean age was 65.3 ± 8.4 years, 75.0% males), and n=145 SVGD (-) (mean age was 66.5 ± 10.1 years, 74.5% males)] were enrolled. At least one saphenous vein graft with ≥50% stenosis was defined as SVGD. Independent predictors of SVGD were determined by logistic regression analysis.
