Predictive value of serum iron on heart failure in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In clinical practice, heart failure often occurs after acute myocardial infarction, and a new biomarker for its early prediction is urgently needed. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between serum iron and heart failure after acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).

Methods

A total of 41 patients with heart failure after STEMI and 31 controls were included in the study. The demographic variables and baseline clinical characteristics of both groups were analyzed.

Results

There were no significant differences between patients with heart failure and controls in terms of demographic characteristics. There were significant differences in terms of serum iron, N terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, left atrial di
