The early LVR group patients were categorized into LVRR (<em>n</em> = 46) and non-LVRR (<em>n</em> = 52) subgroups based on the LVEF values at 5–7 days after symptom onset. Logistic regression models were used to identify the predictive factors associated with early LVR and LVRR.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>Multivariate analysis showed that the admission heart rate (HR) (odds ratio [OR] = 2.965, <em>P</em> = 0.005), peak creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) level (OR = 6.166, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.001), fasting plasma glucose (FPG) concentration (OR = 3.608, <em>P</em> = 0.002), and perfusion score index (PSI) (OR = 91.976, <em>P</em> &lt; 0.001) were independent predictive factors for early LVR. Moreover, pericardial effusion (PE) and PSI within 72 h of symptom onset were predictive factors for failure of LVRR.</div></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><div>Our data showed that admission HR, CK-MB peak level, FPG concentration, and PSI were independent predictive factors for early LVR, whereas PE and PSI were predictive factors for failure of LVRR in STEMI patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72158,"journal":{"name":"American heart journal plus : cardiology research and practice","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100578"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144631485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
