Abstract:Methods A total of 240 patients with AMI who were admitted to the Department of Cardiology of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from September 2022 to February 2024 were selected, and the patients were divided into reperfusion injury group and non-reperfusion injury group according to whether myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury occurred during percutaneous coronary intervention. The clinical data of the two groups were compared; Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the level of IL-21. Multivariate general logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the independent risk factors for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with AMI. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between RLP-C, TyG index, IL-21, and indicators of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and ventricular remodeling.Results The levels of RLP-C, TyG index, and IL-21 in the reperfusion injury group were higher than those in the non-reperfusion injury group (P <0.05). There were statistically significant differences in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, ventricular septal thickness, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, and left ventricular ejection fraction between the two groups (P <0.05). RLP-C [O^R =1.445 (95% CI: 1.010, 2.067)], TyG index [O^R =3.355 (95% CI: 1.964, 5.731)], and IL-21 [O^R =1.028 (95% CI: 1.017, 1.040)] were independent risk factors for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with AMI (P <0.05). RLP-C level was positively correlated with TyG index (r = 0.214, P = 0.043), RLP-C level was positively correlated with IL-21 level (r = 0.571, P = 0.000), and TyG index was positively correlated with IL-21 level (r = 0.588, P = 0.000). The TyG index was positively correlated with the thickness of the posterior wall of the left ventricle (r = 0.237, P = 0.000), and the TyG index was negatively correlated with the ejection fraction of the left ventricle (r = -0.304, P = 0.000). IL-21 was positively correlated with ventricular septal thickness (r = 0.228, P = 0.000), IL-21 was positively correlated with left ventricular posterior wall thickness (r = 0.231, P = 0.000), and IL-21 was negatively correlated with left ventricular ejection fraction (r = -0.304, P = 0.000).Conclusion RLP-C, TyG index, and IL-21 are independent risk factors for myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients with AMI, which are related to ventricular remodeling and can be used as new predictors.Objectiv e To investigate the correlation of serum residual lipoprotein-cholesterol (RLP-C) level, triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and interleukin-21 (IL-21) level with indices related to myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and ventricular remodeling in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
