Can a nomogram model predict six-month LVEF in patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction?
A practical nomogram incorporating baseline LVEF, peak CK-MB, age, hypertension, and final TIMI flow grade can predict six-month LVEF in STEMI survivors to aid in individualized follow-up planning.
Baseline LVEF and peak CK-MB level were the strongest independent predictors of six-month LVEF following STEMI. Age, hypertension, and final TIMI flow grade were identified as additional predictors. The proposed nomogram provides a practical tool for individualized follow-up planning and risk assessment in STEMI survivors.
