Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD), as a most common cause of death, is mainly caused by atherosclerosis. Due to the role of inflammation in the process of atherosclerosis, in the present study, the relationship between the severity of coronary artery disease and inflammatory factors of ‎ monocyte to HDL-C ratio (MHR), platelet-to-HDL-C ratio (PHR), neutrophil to HDL-C ratio (NHR), and IL-25 was investigated.
   Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 64 patients with diagnosis of coronary artery disease who were undergoing angiography in Farshchian heart center in Hamadan were studied. For each patient, the count of monocytes, neutrophils, platelet, and HDL-C, and IL-25 were measured from their blood and serum samples. Also, demographic information, such as age, gender, diabetes, smoking, and history of hypertension, was collected using a checklist. Data were described using frequency, percent, mean, and standard deviation. Statistical analysis was performed using independent t test, Mann-Whitney, Wilcoxon, and Spearman rank correlation tests, and multiple linear regression by SPSS version 25.0 SPSS Inc). P < .05 was considered as significant.
   Results: The results of this study showed that IL-25 and MHR index has a significant correlation with coronary artery disease and Gensini score (P ˂ .001). The PHR index was associated with coronary artery disease. Also, qualitative variables, such as history of hypertension, history of smoking, and gender, have a significant association with the severity of coronary artery disease (P < .05).
   Conclusion: Among the inflammatory markers examined, IL-25 and MHR are stronger markers for assessing the severity of coronary artery disease. Simple and available IL-25 and MHR measurements may be able to, along with common risk factors and lipid profiles, predict the amount of vascular occlusion in treatment centers as an alternative of angiography as well as screening high risk patients prone to cardiovascular disease.
