The monocyte-to-HDL ratio is an emerging cardiovascular risk marker that combines pro-inflammatory monocyte counts with protective HDL cholesterol. Elevated ratios reflect an imbalance favoring vascular inflammation and have been associated with coronary artery disease, metabolic syndrome, and adverse cardiovascular events. It can be calculated from standard lipid and CBC results.
