Abstract Background: Even though great advances have been made in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD) owing to coronary revascularization and modern antiremodeling therapy, it remains the major cause of cardiac morbidity and mortality worldwide. Risk stratification in CAD patients is primarily based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), risk scores, and some serum markers. The value of baseline Left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) level in predicting the clinical outcomes has not yet been determined.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, a total of 3561 patients were enrolled in Clinical Outcomes and Risk Factors of Patients with CAD after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), from January 2013 to December 2017. After excluding patients without echocardiography data, we finally enrolled 2787 patients. These patients were divided into two groups according to LVFS value. The lower group (LVFS <31%, n=741), the higher group (LVFS≥31%, n=2046). The average follow-up time were 37.59±22.24 months.Results: We found that there were significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of all-cause mortality (ACM) (P<0.001), cardiac mortality (CM) (P<0.001), major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) (P<0.05) and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCEs) (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that LVFS was an independent predictor for ACM (hazard ratio [HR]:0.473 [95% confidence interval [CI]:0.290-0.772],P=0.003), CM (HR: 0.393 [95% CI:0.213-0.725],P=0.003) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients but that it was an independent predictor for only the incidence of CM (HR: 0.153 [95% CI:0.046-0.504],P=0.002) in stable CAD patients.Conclusion This study indicates that baseline LVFS is an independent and novel predictor of adverse long-term outcomes in CAD patients who underwent PCI.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has emerged as an important cause of death in PLWH. T-lymphocyte cells has been shown to regulate the inflammatory response and have an inhibitory effect on atherosclerosis. NLR and PLR has been studied as severity prediction for CAD. However, to our knowledge, there were no studies to date that identify the relationship of NLR and PLR with CAD severity and outcome in PLWH. The aim of the study is to determine if NLR and PLR can be used as independent predictors of CAD severity in PLWH in our population in the United States. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of PLWH 18-year-old who underwent cardiac percutaneous coronary intervention was conducted between 2010 and December 2019. Their demographic, clinical and biochemical characteristics were extracted from the electronic medical record. Univariate and multivariate analysis were employed to identify the markers that can be used to predict CAD severity in PLWH. The study end point was number of coronary artery stenosis (85%) vessels involved. Results: A total of 74 PLWH were included in this retrospective cohort study. The median age was 60 years old (range from 30 to 79 years old). The male to female ratio was 2:1 (49 males and 25 females). As for ethnicities, 59 (80%) were African American, 9 (12%) were Caucasian and 6 (8%) were Hispanics. Comorbidities present in 64 patients (86%), with hypertension being the most common (77%), followed by CKD/ESRD (39%), diabetes mellitus (27%) and dyslipidemia (24%). Smoking and alcohol use were reported in 56 (76%) and 23 (31%) patients respectively. Female gender (p=0.042), higher triglycerides (r=0.29; p=0.014), history congestive heart failure (p=0.041) and higher CD4/CD8 ratio (r=0.30; p=0.011) were significantly correlated with greater number of coronary artery vessels involved. NLR (p=0.205) and PLR (p=0.567) are otherwise not significant. In multivariate analysis, NLR (odds ratio [OR] 1.553; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.928-3.611), PLR (OR 0.997, CI 0.983-1.011) and CD4/CD8 ratio (OR 0.676, CI 0.042-1051) were not independently associated with the severity of CAD. Conclusion: This cohort study demonstrated that there is no relationship between the NLR and PLR with the severity of CAD in PLWH in our population in USA.
