Determinants of Left Ventricular Systolic Function One Year after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Middle-Income Country.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Little is known about the predictors of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) -an important predictor of mortality- after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in low- and middle-income countries.

Methods

In a prospective cohort study at Imam Ali hospital, Kermanshah, Iran, we enrolled consecutive ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients treated with primary PCI (2016-2018) and followed them up to one year. LVEF levels were measured by echocardiography, at baseline and one-year follow-up. Determinants of preserved/improved LVEF were assessed using multi-variable logistic regression models.

Results

Of 803 patients (mean age 58.53±11.7 years, 20.5% women), baseline LVEF levels of ≤35% were reported in 44%, 35- 50% in 40%, and ≥50% in
