Based on the results of coronary angiography or multislice spiral computed tomography coronary angiography, the patients were divided into two equal groups (n=40), with obstructive IHD (oIHD), and ischemia with no obstructive CAD or angina with no obstructive CAD (INOCA/ANOCA). In the oIHD group, men prevailed (67.5%) while in the INOCA/ANOCA group, women prevailed (57.5%). Noninvasive PPG evaluation of the vasculature was performed, and WNT1, -3a, -4, and -5a concentrations were measured by ELISA in all patients.Results Higher concentrations of the WNT1 and WNT3a proteins were found in patients with oIHD (p<0.001) while the INOCA/ANOCA group had a significantly higher concentration of WNT5a (p=0.001). According to the PPG data, the arterial stiffness index (aSI) significantly differed between the INOCA/ANOCA (7.6 m/s [6.6; 9.35]) and oIHD (9.25 m/s [7.88; 10.33]) groups, p=0.048). The correlation analysis revealed a relationship between WNT1 and the reflectance index RI (ρ=0.359; p=0.014) in IHD patients (oIHD+INOCA/ANOCA).

Clinical, demographic, laboratory and instrumental characteristics of patients were studied. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica version 10.0 and MedCalc version 20.0 software. The cutoff threshold for quantitative variables was determined by ROC analysis. Potential outcome predictors were identified by a univariate logical regression analysis followed by the construction of a multivariate model for predicting in-hospital mortality using the stepwise analysis with backward inclusion. The prognostic degree of a predictor was expressed as an odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval (CI). Differences were considered statistically significant at p<0.05. For each variable of the multivariate regression model, an individual score was calculated using a linear transformation of the beta coefficients of each variable.Results Seven independent predictors of hospital death were identified in patients with ACS: Killip class II or higher acute heart failure (AHF) (OR 5.96; 95% CI 1.82-19.48; p=0.0031), low hemoglobin ≤127 g/l (OR 3.75; 95% CI 1.39-10.07; p=0.0087), elevated blood glucose on admission ≥9.7 mmol/l (OR 4.86; 95% CI 1.55-15.21; p=0.0065), high body mass index (BMI) ≥32 kg/m2 (OR 7.18; 95% CI 2.65-19.42; p=0.0001), high pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) ≥38 mmHg (OR 3.95; 95% CI 1.48-10.51; p=0.0059), reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) according to Simpson (%) ≤42% (OR 5.80; 95% CI 2.15-15.68; p=0.0005), reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) according to CKD-EPI ≤55 ml/min (OR 5.75; 95% CI 2.16-15.28; p=0.0005). An individual score was calculated for each predictor. The total score of all predictors formed a scale that was ranged from score 0 to 43 with a cutoff threshold of 14, where a result >14 indicated a high probability of in-hospital death. This scale has a high prognostic potential with the sensitivity 93.07%, specificity 86.29%, and the area under the curve (AUC) 0.957.Conclusion Based on the obtained multifactorial model that included 7 major predictors, a scale (scoring system) was developed for predicting the risk of death for ACS patients at the hospital stage of treatment.
