Predictive Value of Fragmented QRS Complex on Electrocardiogram Combined with Serum pro-BNP for Heart Failure in Patients with Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction
Objective:To investigate the predictive value of fragmented QRS(fQRS)complex on elec-trocardiogram combined with serum pro-brain natriuretic peptide(pro-BNP)for heart failure in patients with acute anterior myocardial infarction(AAMI).Methods:A total of 145 patients with AAMI were admitted to the hospital from February 2020 to February 2023.They were divided into two groups according to the pres-ence or absence of heart failure in 3 months after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).General data of patients in the heart failure group and the non-heart failure group were collected.All patients completed rou-tine 12-lead electrocardiogram and serum pro-BNP level detection.Logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the influencing factors of heart failure in patients with AAMI.The value of fQRS complex,pro-BNP,and their combination in predicting heart failure in patients with AAMI was analyzed using the ROC curve.Results:A total of 76(52.41%)patients developed heart failure and 69(47.59%)patients did not.Serum creatinine(Scr)level and therapeutic time window after onset in the heart failure group were higher/longer than those in the non-heart failure group.The diseased branches before operation were more than the non-heart failure group(P<0.05).Patients with fQRS complex on electrocardiogram in the heart failure group were more than the non-heart failure group,and pro-BNP level was higher than that in the non-heart failure group(P<0.05).fQRS complex on electrocardiogram and pro-BNP were influencing factors of heart failure in patients with AAMI(P<0.05).For single prediction of heart failure in patients with AAMI,the AUC of pro-BNP was the highest(0.800),with sensitivity of 50.00%and specificity of 85.65%.The sensi-tivity and specificity of joint prediction with the two indicators were of 84.21%and 69.57%.Conclusion:fQRS and pro-BNP are influencing factors for heart failure in AAMI patients.fQRS and pro-BNP have high prognostic value in HF in AAMI patients.The combination of them can significantly improve sensitivity and has higher prognostic value,which can be used as an auxiliary detection index.
