dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVE: Myocardial perfu-sion scintigraphy (MPS) has prognostic importance in demonstrating myocardial ischemia, and the Syntax score (SS) in coronary angiogra-phy has prognostic importance in demonstrat-ing the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD). C-reactive protein (CRP) and albumin are prognostic markers for both atherosclerosis and inflammation. In this study, we aimed at investigating the relationship of CRP/albumin ratio (CAR) with the severity of myocardial ischemia and SS in patients with stable CAD. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We retrospec-tively evaluated 355 patients between January 2018 and January 2020. Patients were divided into normal, mild-moderate, and severe ischemia groups according to MPS. SS was classi-fied as low risk (< 32) and high risk (>= 32) groups. The association between CAR, SS, and MPS findings were analyzed. RESULTS: The median CAR level was high-er in the high-risk group compared to the low -risk group (20.7 vs. 13.8, p < 0.05), and higher in the low-risk group compared to the normal group (13.8 vs. 7.4, p < 0.05). The increase in CAR level was associated with increased ischemia severity (p < 0.001). Increased CAR level was found to be an independent predictor of both high-risk and severe ischemia (OR = 1.04, p = 0.006; OR = 1.05, p = 0.001, respectively). The cut-off value of CAR > 10.2 was a common point in predicting both low -risk and mild-moderate ischemia (AUC: 0.736, p < 0.001; AUC: 0.741, p < 0.001, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: High CAR level was an inde-pendent predictor of both the severity of ischemia and the extent of CAD. Therefore, CAR can be a potential screening tool in patients with suspected CAD and in risk stratification.
