Abstract:Objective To analyze the evaluation value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) combined with serum galectin-3 (Galectin-3) and soluble growth stimulation expressed gene 2 protein (sST2) in the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods A total of 102 AMI patients who underwent PCI in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were selected as the research objects. All patients underwent preoperative RT-3DE examination to record left ventricular function indicators including left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LEDV), left ventricular end-systolic volume (LESV), and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Serum levels of Galectin-3 and sST2 were detected. Patients were followed up for 1 year after surgery. Those with death, stroke, in-stent thrombosis, recurrent myocardial infarction, re-revascularization, or bleeding were assigned to the poor prognosis group(n = 42), and the others to the good prognosis group. RT-3DE results, Galectin-3 and sST2 levels were compared between the two groups(n = 60). Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for poor prognosis, and ROC curve was adopted to evaluate the predictive value of RT-3DE combined with serum Galectin-3 and soluble sST2 for the prognosis of AMI patients after PCI.Results Specifically, the preoperative levels of LEDV, LESV, Galectin-3 and sST2 in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group(P < 0.05), while the LVEF level was significantly lower(P < 0.05). Results of logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated LEDV [O^R = 1.076 (95% CI: 1.005, 1.151) ], elevated LESV [O^R = 1.290 (95% CI: 1.075, 1.549) ], decreased LVEF [O^R = 0.749 (95% CI: 0.630, 0.890) ], elevated Galectin-3 [O^R = 1.281 (95% CI: 1.096, 1.498) ] and elevated sST2 [O^R = 1.312 (95% CI: 1.146, 1.502) ] were all independent risk factors for poor prognosis in patients (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis demonstrated that real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE) combined with serum Galectin-3 and sST2 had high predictive value for the prognosis of AMI patients after PCI, with a sensitivity of 92.9% (95% CI: 0.805, 0.985) and a specificity of 90.0% (95% CI: 0.795, 0.962) and the area under the curve of 0.969(95% CI:0.942,0.997).Conclusion RT-3DE combined with serum Galectin-3 and sST2 can effectively evaluate the prognosis of acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing PCI.
