Clinical significance of carotid intima-media thickness and plasma homocysteine in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) often have fewer identifiable traditional risk factors compared to other types of acute coronary syndrome. Therefore, it is necessary to explore more sensitive predictive models different from traditional cardiovascular scoring systems to identify high-risk populations. The retrospective case-control study aimed to investigate the predictive value of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and homocysteine (Hcy) on the occurrence of STEMI.

Methods

A total of 198 patients with first STEMI were continuously selected into the observation group, who received emergency coronary angiography in Hefei Hospital Affiliated to Anhui Medical University from January 2020 to January 2022, and a total of 129 pa
