    The study evaluated the association between the C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) and microvascular obstruction (MVO) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients.

  • 2

    A total of 967 AMI patients were included, with 476 developing CMR-defined MVO after successful primary PCI.

  • 3

    Higher baseline CTI levels were significantly associated with an increased risk of MVO, with an odds ratio of 1.33.

  • 4

    During a median follow-up of 43 months, higher CTI levels correlated with an increased risk of long-term major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), especially in non-diabetic patients.

  • 5

    CTI may serve as a clinically accessible tool for early risk stratification and microvascular protection strategies following PCI in AMI patients.
