Background: In this study, we investigated whether the ratio of
non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
(NHHR) is associated with the development of acute ST-segment elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: 889 STEMI patients who had not
previously received lipid-lowering therapy were selected as the test group and
120 patients with less than 50% coronary stenosis were selected as the control
group. All patients completed the related blood tests the morning after
admission, and Gensini scores were based on coronary angiography results. The
differences were compared using a t-test, rank sum test, chi-square test and
logistic regression analysis. Linear regression analysis was used to study the
correlation between variables. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves were
used to validate the predictive value of NHHR for STEMI. Results: NHHR
was shown to be a significant independent risk factor for STEMI according to
binary logistic regression analysis (OR = 0.163, 95% CI: 0.065–0.411, p
