It is crucial to determine the high-risk group in ST-elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI). Left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) and left atrial volume index (LAVI) are the well-established parameters for risk prediction. However, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) may be predicted less than actual when LVEF or LAVI are in the normal range. It was investigated LAVI to LVEF ratio (LAVI/LVEFr) for more accurate MACE prediction.
Patients with STEMI were included in the study. LAVI and LVEF were obtained at admission. The LAVI/LVEFr was calculated as LAVI dividing by LVEF. The composite primary endpoint of the study was all-cause mortality and new-onset heart failure for 8 years follow-up.
A total of 176 patients were divided into two groups according to the presence of MACE. MACE (+) group consisted of 70 (39.7%) patients who were older and more likely to be male. While LVEF ( < 0.001) was lower, LAVI ( < 0.001) and LAVI/LVEFr ( < 0.001) were higher in MACE (+) group. Age ( = 0.003), serum creatinine ( < 0.001), and LAVI/LVEFr ( < 0.001) were independent predictors of MACE.
Combined usage of LAVI and LVEF (LAVI/LVEFr), increased age, and serum creatinine level were the independent predictors of MACE during 8 years of follow-up in STEMI patients.
确定ST段抬高型心肌梗死(STEMI)的高危人群至关重要。左心室射血分数(LVEF)和左心房容积指数(LAVI)是公认的风险预测参数。然而,当LVEF或LAVI在正常范围内时,主要不良心血管事件(MACE)的预测可能低于实际情况。本研究旨在探讨LAVI与LVEF比值(LAVI/LVEFr)对MACE进行更准确的预测。
纳入STEMI患者进行研究。入院时获取LAVI和LVEF。LAVI/LVEFr通过LAVI除以LVEF计算得出。本研究的复合主要终点为8年随访期间的全因死亡率和新发心力衰竭。
根据是否发生MACE,共176例患者分为两组。MACE(+)组由70例(39.7%)患者组成,这些患者年龄较大且更可能为男性。MACE(+)组的LVEF较低(<0.001),而LAVI(<0.001)和LAVI/LVEFr较高(<0.001)。年龄(=0.003)、血清肌酐(<0.001)和LAVI/LVEFr(<0.001)是MACE的独立预测因素。
LAVI与LVEF联合使用(LAVI/LVEFr)、年龄增加和血清肌酐水平是STEMI患者8年随访期间MACE的独立预测因素。
