Predictive value of right ventricular features on three-dimensional echocardiography for heart failure after PCI in patients with inferior wall myocardial infarction
Aim To investigate the predictive value of right ventricular features on three-dimensional echocardio-graphy for heart failure(HF)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in patients with inferior wall myocardial in-farction(INFMI).Methods 261 patients with INFMI from October 2018 to October 2021 were included.Patients were divided into heart failure group(n=42)and no heart failure group(n=219)based on one-year follow-up records af-ter PCI.Clinical data and echocardiographic characteristics of the two groups were compared.LASSO-Logistic regression was used to screen the independent influencing factors for the occurrence of postoperative HF.A column-line diagram model was constructed and validated.Results After screening,the LASSO model at the optimal λ value in-corporated free wall mid-segment and global longitudinal strain,inflow tract end-diastolic volume and ejection fraction,and body end-diastolic volume and ejection fraction in INFMI patients.Higher predictive value for HF was found in lower postoperative body ejection fraction(cutoff value 43.27%),lower inflow tract ejection fraction(cutoff value 51.49%),and higher global longitudinal strain(cutoff value-13.52%).Ultrasound indices combined with age,Killip classification,and N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP)were used to construct a columnar graphical model.The model was highly discriminative,with a consistency index of 0.981(95%CI:0.872~0.997).The model predicted values fitted well with the actual values.Conclusion Right ventricular global longitudinal strain,inflow tract ejection fraction,body ejection fraction,age,Killip classification,and NT-proBNP in patients with INFMI have a high predictive value for the risk of HF one year after PCI.The jointly constructed prediction model can be used as a clinical decision-making tool.
