Objectives To investigate the relationship between left ventricular remodeling and coronary microcirculation in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI)who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention(pPCI).The relationship between left ventricular remodeling represented by left ventricular mass index(LVMI)and microcirculation disturbance represented by coronary angiography microcirculation resistance index(AMR)with prognosis were analyzed.Methods This study was a retrospective study.Patients with STEMI and pPCI treatment in Guangdong Provincial Hospital,Guangdong Provincial Hospital Zhuhai Hospital from March 2018 to December 2020 and in Boluo People's Hospital from November 2021 to January 2022 were included and underwent cardiac color Doppler ultrasound respectively after surgery and 3 months later to calculate the percentage change in LVMI.Patients were divided into higher left ventricular remodeling group(n=62)and lower left ventricular remodeling group(n=99)according to whether the LVMI change was>20%.The correlation and outcome variables were evaluated by comparing the general situation,coronary microcirculation indicators and prognosis of the two groups.Results(1)Higher left ventricular remodeling group had higher AMR(287±89 vs.247±56,P=0.006),slower coronary flow velocity(CFV)rate(14.6±5.8 vs.16.6±5.3,P<0.05)and worse prognosis(33.8%vs.13.1%,P=0.003)than lower left ventricular remodeling group.The abso-lute change of LVMI was positively and linearly correlated with AMR(r=0.169,P=0.032).No reflow existed only in higher left ventricular remodeling group[3(4.8%)vs.0,P=0.02].(2)Logistics regression analysis showed that AMR was a risk factor for LVMI variation greater than 20%(OR=1.008,P=0.001).AMR was an independent predictor of left ventricular remodeling.The cut-off point of AMR for receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)analysis was 268.5.Conclusions In STEMI patients undergoing pPCI,left ventricular remodeling represented by LVMI is clearly correlated with coronary microcirculation represented by AMR.The greater the change in left ventricular remodeling,the greater the AMR,and the worse the prognosis.
