    Background: The underlying pathology of isolated coronary artery ectasia (CE) has not been fully elucidated. Objective: We aimed to examine the relationship between the systemic immune inflammation index (Sıı), which corresponds to the multiplying of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and the platelet counts, and isolated CE. Method: The retrospective study population included 200 patients with isolated CE, 200 consecutive with obstructive coronary artery disease, and 200 consecutive with a normal coronary artery angiogram. A 2-sided p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Sıı, NLR, platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and monocyte-to-high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) were significantly higher in the CE group compared with the other groups (all p<0.001). In multivariate analysis, Sıı (p<0.001, OR = 1.005, 95% CI =1.004-1.005) was found to be an independent predictor of isolated CE. In Receiver Operating Characteristic curve analysis, Sıı had a higher Area Under the Curve than NLR, PLR, and MHR. Sıı value of >517.35 has 79% sensitivity, 76% specificity for the prediction of the CE [AUC: 0.832, (p<0.001)]. Sıı had a significant correlation with the number of ectatic coronary arteries and Markis classification (r:0.214 p=0.002; r:-0.195, p=0.006, respectively). Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that Sıı was significantly associated with isolated CE presence and anatomical severity. © 2023, Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia.

    The Role of Systemic Immune Inflammation Index for Predicting Saphenous Vein Graft Disease in Patients with Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Dogdus, Mustafa; Dindas, Ferhat; Yenercag, Mustafa; Yildirim, Arafat; Abacioglu, Ozge Ozcan; Kilic, Salih; Yavuz, Fethi
    As inflammation plays a significant role in the development of coronary artery disease, we hypothesized that there may be a relation between the systemic immune inflammation index (SII) and saphenous vein graft disease (SVGD). The study population consisted of 716 consecutive patients who underwent elective coronary angiography (CAG) >1 year after bypass grafting. The patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the extent of SVG patency. SII value was significantly higher in the SVGD(+) group compared with the SVGD(-) group (P < .001). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, SII (P < .001, odds ratio (OR) = 3.27, 95% CI = 1.94-5.65) and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P < .001, OR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.59-3.11) were found to be independent predictors of SVGD. An SII value of >935 (x10(3)/ml) has 89.2% sensitivity and 70.6% specificity for the prediction of the SVGD, and an NLR value of >4.15 has 54.6% sensitivity and 68.5% specificity for the prediction of the SVGD. The AUC of SII was found to be greater than the AUC of NLR (P = .002), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (P = .009), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR) (P = .013), MPV (P = .011), and C-reactive protein (CRP) (P = .034) in predicting SVGD. In conclusion, we demonstrated that SII, which is among the new inflammation indexes, is a more reliable predictor in determining SVGD than the NLR, PLR, and LMR.
