title: High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and intracoronary thrombosis burden.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To carry out a retrospective analysis of the correlation between high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and intracoronary thrombus burden.
  
  
  RESULTS
  A total of 270 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary PCI were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into two groups: patients with (group A, n=111) and patients without (group B, n=159) angiographic characteristics of thrombus. The results showed that the level of HDL-C was markedly lower in group A than that in group B. The logistic regression analysis of the relationship between multiple factors showed that only the level of HDL-C was correlated negatively with the angiographic characteristics of thrombus.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HDL-C is correlated with the angiographic presence of thrombus.
