- The stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) measures relative hyperglycemia during acute stress and is linked to coronary artery disease (CAD) severity and prognosis.
- A systematic review and meta-analysis found SHR significantly associated with increased CAD severity markers like large thrombus burden and multi-vessel disease.
- Higher SHR levels in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients correlated with a greater risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
- Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients with elevated SHR also showed a higher MACE risk, confirmed in continuous variable analyses.
- SHR serves as an accessible tool for risk stratification in CAD patients, reflecting anatomical complexity and predicting adverse outcomes.
