Predictive value of serum iron on heart failure in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

Background: In clinical practice, heart failure often occurs after acute myocardial infarction, and a new biomarker for its early prediction is urgently needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum iron and heart failure after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods: A total of 41 patients with heart failure after STEMI and 31 controls were included in the study.

Effect of estimated plasma volume status and left atrial diameter on prognosis of patients with acute heart failure.

Objective: Acute heart failure (AHF) is a frequent cardiovascular emergency presenting with high mortality as well as readmission rates. The aim was to investigate the predictive value of estimated plasma volume status (ePVs) and left atrial diameter (LAD) for the prognosis of patients with AHF.

Methods: Clinical profiles were collected from 259 cases of AHF patients at the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University between September 2019 and October 2021.

The Value of Sacubitril/Valsartan in Acute Anterior Wall ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction before Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Background: Many patients present with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) after acute anterior wall ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of preprocedural sacubitril/valsartan on N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with acute anterior STEMI undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: We enrolled patients with acute anterior wall STEMI who underwent emergency PCI at The Affiliated Hospital of Putian University from January 2019 to January 2021.

Predictive Value of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width and Atrial Diameter in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Cross-Sectional Study.

BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia and is associated with deleterious consequences. In addition to worsening a patient's quality of life, AF is associated with stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) has been associated with an increased risk of death and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, while left atrial enlargement has been linked to atrial fibrillation (AF).

The Significance of Apolipoprotein-A in the Long-Term Death of Patients with STEMI.

Objective: To analyze apolipoprotein-A for its predictive value for long-term death in individuals suffering from acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction following percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: We selected patients suffering from acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who underwent emergency PCI at the Affiliated Hospital of Putian University from January 2017 to August 2019. The patients were divided into a high-Apo-A group and low-Apo-A group, and we observed all-cause deaths of patients in the 2 groups within 2 years.

Predictive value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and red cell distribution width on death for ST segment elevation myocardial infarction.

There are many clinical scoring criteria for predicting the risk of death in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), but most of the indicators are complex to calculate and are not suitable for use in primary hospitals. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and red cell distribution width (RDW) are blood routine indicators that are easy to obtain and may help primary hospitals to evaluate the risk of death in patients with STEMI. Our aim was to explore the predictive value of NLR combined with RDW in the long-term prognosis of patients with STEMI after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
