Hemoglobin glycation index and prognosis after successful chronic total occlusion percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective cohort study
Cohort study in peopleBiomarkers
Abstract
Background Even after technically successful percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO), patients face persistent excess cardiovascular risk. The hemoglobin glycation index (HGI), a marker of interindividual glycation heterogeneity, has not been studied in this setting.
