관상동맥 중재술을 시행받은 급성심근경색증 환자에서 고중성지방혈증과 복부 비만이 예후에 미치는 영향

초록

Although there are still controversies about whether hypertriglyceridemia is an independent risk factor for coronary arterydisease, recent analysis reported hypertriglyceridemia and central obesity are independent risk factors for coronary artery disease. However, the prognostic impact of hypertriglyceridemia and central obesity in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patientsunderwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are still remained unclear. In this issue, Han et al. investigated the prognosticimpact of hypertriglyceridemia and/or central obesity on baseline in AMI patients treated with PCI. In this editorial, we havereviewed the role of hypertriglyceridemia and central obesity on the prognosis after PCI in AMI patients. Althoughhypertriglyceridemia and central obesity on baseline in this study had no role on the prognosis following PCI in AMI patients, toconfirm for these results, further studies on this topic will be warranted in the future.
