Association between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio and the presence and severity of coronary artery disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Although the levels of plasma fibrinogen and albumin have been proven to be in relation to coronary heart disease (CHD), the association between fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) has not been adequately investigated. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between FAR and the presence and severity of CHD in patients with ACS.

Methods and results

A total of 1575 individuals who received coronary angiography (CAG) were enrolled. Patients were divided into the ACS group and the control group. The severity of ACS was determined by Gensini score, number of diseased coronary artery and the presence of myocardial infarction (MI). Data showed that the level of FAR in ACS group was higher than in the control group (81.20 ± 35.45 vs. 72.89 ± 20.24, P < 0.001). The results from subgroup analysis indicated that the values of FAR in the high Gensini score group, MI group and multiple-vessel stenosis group were higher than the matched subgroups. After adjustment for confounders, FAR was still independently related to the presence and severity of ACS (MI OR 2.097, 95%CI 1.430-3.076; High GS: OR 2.335, 95%CI 1.567-3.479; multiple-vessel disease: OR 2.088, 95%CI 1.439-3.030; P < 0.05).

Conclusion

The levels of FAR are independently associated with the presence and the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with ACS. Furthermore, FAR, as a more convenient and rapid biological indicator, may provide a new idea for predicting the presence and severity of ACS.

Association between fibrinogen/albumin ratio and severity of coronary artery calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease: a retrospective study.

Project description:AimPrevious studies have shown that the fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) is closely related to the severity and prognosis of coronary atherosclerosis. In this study, we sought to evaluate the association between FAR and the degree of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD).MethodsIn this retrospective study, 218 patients with CKD were stratified into low, medium and high FAR groups according to the tertiles of the FAR values. The CAC scores, clinical information and laboratory test results of the three FAR groups were compared. To explore the relationship between FAR and CAC we conducted binary logistic regression and correlation analyses.ResultsIn the low FAR group, the CAC scores were significantly lower than those in the medium and high FAR groups (P < 0.001). There was a significant correlation between the FAR and CAC scores (r = 0.510, P < 0.001). The FAR was an independent predictor of CAC (OR = 1.106, 95% CI [1.004-1.218], P = 0.042).ConclusionIn patients with CKD, the FAR can be considered as an effective predictor of CAC.

Association of albumin, fibrinogen, and modified proteins with acute coronary syndrome.

Project description:Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) comprises a pathophysiological spectrum of cardiovascular diseases related to atherosclerotic coronary plaque erosion. Oxidative stress and inflammation play pivotal roles in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, which affects circulatory proteins, including albumin and fibrinogen, thereby causing an imbalance in albumin to globulin and fibrinogen to albumin ratios. This study aimed to assess the effect of oxidative stress on circulatory proteins, correlate these parameters, and investigate their significance in patients with ACS. In this case-control study, the major blood proteins in patients with ACS and a control group were evaluated using standard methods. Out of 70 ACS cases, 75.7% had ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), 18.6% had non-STEMI, and 5.7% had unstable angina. The mean cardiac troponin I level in patients was 12.42 ng/mL. The patients demonstrated a significantly reduced level of human serum albumin (HSA), 3.81 ± 0.99 g/dL, compared to controls, 5.33 ± 0.66 g/dL. The albumin to globulin ratio (AGR) was significantly depressed in patients while their mean fibrinogen level and the fibrinogen to albumin ratio (FAR) were significantly higher. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that albumin and fibrinogen were significantly associated with the risk of ACS, showing the potential of these parameters to be used for risk assessment of ACS. The ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and protein carbonyls were significantly higher in patients which showed significant positive correlations with FAR. Albumin, IMA and protein carbonyls were found to have high diagnostic sensitivity and specificity for ACS. Overall, these circulatory and modified proteins in ACS patients, particularly lower HSA, AGR, and higher IMA and protein carbonyls may help assess risk.

Albumin and the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio: Biomarkers for the acute phase response following total knee arthroplasty.

Project description:PurposeComplications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) lead to patient morbidity and cost. While acute phase reactants, such as c-reactive protein (CRP) and fibrinogen, have been used to predict complications following TKA, the extent and duration of changes in albumin levels following TKA are unknown. It is hypothesized that like CRP and fibrinogen, albumin, and the fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) represent useful measures of the acute phase response (APR) following TKA. The purpose of this study was to describe the longitudinal course of albumin and FAR in healthy patients following TKA, relative to established biomarkers, and examine if the variance in albumin or FAR correlates with patient comorbidities.MethodsThis retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing TKA at a tertiary medical center. CRP, fibrinogen, and albumin values were collected pre- and post-operatively. An age-adjusted Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) was utilized as a measure of patient comorbidity status.ResultsThe median preoperative albumin value was 4.3 g/dL, which dropped to 3.6 g/dL on postoperative day 1 following TKA. The albumin value returned to 93% of the baseline by postoperative week 2. The course of albumin inversely mirrored the course of CRP (r = -0.41). Median preoperative FAR was 0.087 g/L, which rose to 0.130 g/L by postoperative week 2 and returned to baseline by postoperative week 6. While preoperative FAR strongly correlated with postoperative week 2 values (r = 0.74), there was a weak positive correlation between age-adjusted CCI and pre-operative FAR (r = 0.24) in patients undergoing primary TKA.ConclusionAlbumin levels follow a predictable postoperative decline that inversely correlates with CRP in healthy patients following TKA. Given the low cost and abundance of laboratories offering albumin levels, direct albumin levels and/or albumin ratios such as FAR may be underutilized biomarkers for monitoring the APR following TKA.

Comparative platelet releasate proteome profiling of acute coronary syndrome versus stable coronary artery disease

Project description:Upon activation, platelets release a host of soluble and vesicular signals, collectively termed the ‘platelet releasate’ (PR). The contents of this PR play a significant role in haemostasis, inflammation, and pathologic sequelae. Despite this, proteomic studies investigating the PR in coronary artery disease have not been performed. We undertook a comparative label-free quantitative (LFQ) proteomic profiling of the 1U/ml thrombin-induced PR from 13 acute coronary syndrome (ACS-STEMI) versus 14 stable angina pectoris patients using a tandem mass spectrometry approach. We identified differentially released platet proteins including tetranectin (CLEC3B), protein disulfide-isomerase-A3 (PDIA3), coagulation factor V (F5) and fibronectin (FN1). Strikingly, all 9 differential proteins were associated with the GO cellular component term ‘extracellular vesicle’ and reduced levels of EVs were detected in plasma of ACS-STEMI patients. Network analysis revealed 3 PR proteins either reduced (F5; FN1) or absent (CLEC3B) in ACS-STEMI patients, which are strongly connected to both the clotting cascade and major druggable targets on platelets. This moderated signature highlights the possible basis of platelet dysfunction in ACS-STEMI and may prove useful for non-invasive risk assessment of the progression of coronary artery disease.

Albumin-fibrinogen ratio and fibrinogen-prealbumin ratio as promising prognostic markers for cancers: an updated meta-analysis.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Provide an updated and comprehensive evaluation of the prognostic value of the albumin-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) and the fibrinogen-prealbumin ratio (FPR) for patients with cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Four databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and WanFang) were searched. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and progression-free survival (PFS). Pooled data were synthesized using StataMP 14 and expressed as hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS:This update examined 19 studies (7282 cases) that assessed the correlation of AFR with cancer prognosis. Pooled univariate and multivariate analyses indicated significant correlations of low AFR with poor OS (HR 2.18, 95%CI 1.87-2.55 and HR 1.75, 95%CI 1.54-2.00, respectively), poor DFS (HR 1.89, 95%CI 1.54-2.32 and HR 1.51, 95%CI 1.29-1.76, respectively), and poor PFS (HR 1.68, 95%CI 1.42-1.99 and HR 1.48, 95%CI 1.16-1.88, respectively). Pooled univariate and multivariate analyses of 6 studies (2232 cases) indicated high FPR significantly correlated with poor OS (HR 2.37, 95%CI 2.03-2.77 and HR 1.97, 95%CI 1.41-2.77, respectively). One study reported that high FPR correlated with poor DFS (univariate analysis: HR 2.20, 95%CI 1.35-3.57; multivariate analysis: HR 1.77, 95%CI 1.04-2.99) and one study reported a correlation of high FPR with poor PFS in univariate analysis alone (HR 1.79, 95%CI 1.11-2.88). CONCLUSION:A low AFR and a high FPR correlated with increased risk of cancer mortality and recurrence. AFR and FPR may be promising prognostic markers for cancers.

High fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio is associated with hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Project description:IntroductionHemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a complex and multifactorial complication among patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and the inflammatory response has been considered as a risk factor for HT. We aimed to evaluate the stratification of FAR (fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio), an inflammatory biomarker, in HT patients.MethodsA total of 256 consecutive stroke patients with HT and 256 age- and gender-matched stroke patients without HT were included in this study. HT during hospitalization was diagnosed by follow-up imaging assessment and was classified into hemorrhagic infarction (HI) and parenchymal hematoma (PH) according to the recommendations of European Cooperative Acute Stroke Study II classification. Blood samples were obtained at admission.ResultsHigher levels of FAR were observed in patients with HT compared with the non-HT group [10.29 (8.39-12.95) vs. 8.60 (7.25-10.8), p < .001], but no significant difference was found between the PH and HI [10.88 (8.72-13.40) vs. 10.13 (8.14-12.60), p > .05]. Patients were assigned to groups of high FAR (≥9.51) and low FAR (<9.51) based on the optimal cut-off value. After adjustment for potential confounders, the high FAR remained independently associated with the increased risk of HT (OR = 5.027, 95% CI = 5.027 (2.309-10.942), p < .001).ConclusionsHigh FAR was independently associated with the increased risk of HT after AIS.

Association between Neutrophil Percentage-to-Albumin Ratio and All-Cause Mortality in Critically Ill Patients with Coronary Artery Disease.

Project description:BackgroundNeutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) has been proved to be associated with clinical outcome of many diseases. This study was aimed at exploring the independent effect of NPAR on all-cause mortality of critically ill patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).MethodNPAR was calculated as neutrophil percentage numerator divided by serum albumin concentration. Clinical endpoints were 30-day, 90-day, and 365-day all-cause mortality. Multivariable Cox proportional hazard models were performed to confirm the association between NPAR and all-cause mortality.Result3106 patients with CAD were enrolled. All-cause mortality rates of 30 days (P < 0.001), 90 days (P < 0.001), and 365 days (P < 0.001) increased as NPAR tertiles increased. And after adjusting for possible confounding variables, NPAR was still independently associated with 30-day (third tertile group versus first tertile group: HR, 95% CI: 1.924, 1.471-2.516; P for trend < 0.001), 90-day (third tertile group versus first tertile group: HR, 95% CI: 2.053, 1.646-2.560; P for trend < 0.001), and 365-day (third tertile group versus first tertile group: HR, 95% CI: 2.063, 1.717-2.480; P for trend < 0.001) all-cause mortality in patients with CAD. Subgroup analysis did not find obvious interaction in most subgroups.ConclusionNPAR was independently correlated with 30-day, 60-day, and 365-day all-cause mortality in critically ill patients with CAD.

Serum MG53/TRIM72 Is Associated With the Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease and Acute Myocardial Infarction.

Project description:Background: Mitsugumin 53 or Tripartite motif 72 (MG53/TRIM72), a myokine/cardiokine belonging to the tripartite motif family, can protect the heart from ischemic injury and regulate lipid metabolism in rodents. However, its biological function in humans remains unclear. This study sought to investigate the relationship between circulating MG53 levels and coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: The concentration of MG53 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum samples from 639 patients who underwent angiography, including 205 controls, 222 patients with stable CAD, and 212 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Logistic and linear regression analyses were used to analyze the relationship between MG53 and CAD. Results: MG53 levels were increased in patients with stable CAD and were highest in patients with AMI. Additionally, patients with comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes also had a higher concentration of MG53. We found that MG53 is a significant diagnostic marker of CAD and AMI, as analyzed by logistic regression models. Multivariate linear regression models revealed that serum MG53 was significantly corelated positively with SYNTAX scores. Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores also correlated with serum MG53 levels, indicating that MG53 levels were associated with the severity of CAD and AMI after adjusting for multiple risk factors and clinical biomarkers. Conclusion: MG53 is a valuable diagnostic marker whose serum levels correlate with the presence and severity of stable CAD and AMI, and may represent a novel biomarker for diagnosing CAD and indicating the severity of CAD.

Association of GRACE Risk Score with Coronary Artery Disease Complexity in Patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Project description:The GRACE score constitutes a useful tool for risk stratification in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), while the SYNTAX score determines the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study sought to correlate these scores and assess the accuracy of the GRACE score in predicting the extent of CAD. A total of 539 patients with ACS undergoing coronary angiography were included in this analysis. The patients were classified into those with a SYNTAX score < 33 and a SYNTAX score ≥ 33. Spearman's correlation and receiver operator characteristic analysis were conducted to investigate the role of the GRACE score as a predictor of the SYNTAX score. There was a significantly positive correlation between the SYNTAX and the GRACE scores (r = 0.32, p < 0.001). The GRACE score predicted severe CAD (SYNTAX ≥ 33) moderately well (the area under the curve was 0.595 (0.522-0.667)). A GRACE score of 126 was documented as the optimal cut-off for the prediction of a SYNTAX score ≥ 33 (sensitivity = 53.5% and specificity = 66%). Therefore, our study reports a significantly positive correlation between the GRACE and the SYNTAX score in patients with ACS. Notably, NSTEMI patients with a high-risk coronary anatomy have higher calculated GRACE scores. A multidisciplinary approach by a heart team could possibly alter the therapeutic approach and management in patients presenting with ACS and a high calculated GRACE score.
