Objective To determine the predictive values of D-dimer in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). Methods A total of 648 patients with acute NSTEMI admitted in Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University from January 2015 to December 2016 were enrolled for the study. All patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were divided into two groups according to the plasma levels of D-Dimer. Clinical characters and 1 year follow-up were recorded. Results Compared with the patients in low D-dimer group, patients in high plasma D-dimer group experienced less male gender, older age, lower total cholesterol level, higher white blood cell and creatinine level. Patients with higher D-dimer suffered increased risk of all-cause deaths and cardiovascular related deaths. Multivariate COX analysis suggested D-dimer was a predictive biomarker in patients with NSTEMI after PCI. Conclusions Patients with high levels of plasma d-dimer may be a poor prognostic biomarker on patients with NSTEMI.
