Non-high density lipoprotein cholesterol/high density lipoprotein cholesterol is L-shaped associated with all-cause mortality and U-shaped with cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients

The findings indicate that lower NHHR is associated with an increased risk of both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality, highlighting the critical need for comprehensive lipid management in the clinical management of hypertension. These results suggest that NHHR could serve as a valuable tool for identifying high-risk individuals for mortality, and should be incorporated into routine risk stratification assessments for hypertensive patients. This could more effectively improve patient prognosis and guide personalized treatment strategies.
