Abstract
To analyze the predictive value of lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and peripheral blood-related ratios at the initial diagnosis for heart failure (HF) after early-onset infarction in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This retrospective analysis included 151 patients first diagnosed with AMI at Xianyang Central Hospital from February 2020 to February 2023. Patients were classified into two groups: those who developed HF during hospitalization (HF group, n=45) and those who did not (non-HF group, NHF, n=106). Differences in Lp-PLA2, NT-proBNP, and peripheral blood ratios at initial diagnosis were compared between the groups. Binary logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for HF, and a nomogram model was developed based on these factors. HR (P=0.032), C-reactive protein (CRP) (P<0.001), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (P=0.015), coronary artery lesion score (CALDS) (P<0.001), D-dimer (D-D) (P=0.021), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (P<0.001), Lp-PLA2 (P<0.001), and NT-proBNP (P<0.001) were significantly higher in the HF group than in the NHF group. Left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) (P<0.001) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) (P<0.001) were significantly lower in the HF group. Multifactorial logistic regression identified HR (P=0.034), CRP (P=0.028), CALDS (P=0.007), NLR (P=0.001), Lp-PLA2 (P=0.001), and NT-proBNP (P=0.002) as independent predictors of HF. The AUCs for NLR, Lp-PLA2, and NT-proBNP were 0.806, 0.849, and 0.780, respectively. The nomogram model achieved an AUC of 0.964, significantly outperforming individual indicators per Delong's test, highlighting its superior predictive efficacy. HR, CRP, CALDS, NLR, Lp-PLA2, and NT-proBNP were identified as independent predictors of HR post-AMI myocardial infarction. The constructed nomogram model provides an effective tool for early clinical identification of high-risk patients, potentially improving prognosis and guiding therapeutic strategies.
