Associations of non-traditional lipid parameters with high-risk plaques characterized by optical coherence tomography in acute myocardial infarction culprit lesions
Abstract
Objective: The objective of this research was to investigate the association between non-traditional lipid parameters and optical coherence tomography (OCT)-characterized high-risk plaques in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: This retrospective study included 249 first-episode AMI patients admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Lanzhou University between January 2022 and December 2024. All patients underwent OCT-guided assessment of culprit lesions before revascularization. High-risk plaques were defined by more than two of the following features: lipid arc ≥90 °, fibrous cap thickness
