Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
HbA1c/C-peptide ratio predictive accuracy for no-reflow phenomenon
Diagnostic accuracy of HbA1c/C-peptide ratio for predicting the no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, assessed by area under the ROC curve (AUC).
Baseline (prior to PCI)
Albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score predictive accuracy for no-reflow phenomenon
Diagnostic accuracy of ALBI score for predicting the no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, assessed by area under the ROC curve (AUC).
Baseline (prior to PCI)
Neutrophil/HDL ratio predictive accuracy for no-reflow phenomenon
Diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil/HDL ratio for predicting the no-reflow phenomenon in STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI, assessed by area under the ROC curve (AUC).
Baseline (prior to PCI)
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Correlation of HbA1c/C-peptide ratio, Neutrophil-to-HDL ratio, and Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score with in-hospital major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Baseline to hospital discharge.
Correlation of HbA1c/C-peptide ratio, Neutrophil-to-HDL ratio, and Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score with 1-month major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).
Baseline to 1-month follow-up.
Study Arms (2)
No-Reflow Group
STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI who develop angiographic no-reflow, defined as final TIMI flow ≤2 and/or Myocardial Blush Grade (MBG) 0-1 after stent deployment in the absence of mechanical obstruction (no dissection, spasm, residual thrombus, or significant residual stenosis). Planned enrollment: 56.
Reflow Group
STEMI patients undergoing primary PCI who achieve successful epicardial and microvascular reperfusion, defined as final TIMI 3 flow and MBG 2-3 after PCI. Planned enrollment: 56.
Interventions
1. To investigate whether the HbA1c to C-peptide ratio can serve as a predictive marker for no-reflow, reflecting the impact of chronic glycemic control and pancreatic beta-cell function. 2. To evaluate the neutrophil-to-HDL ratio as a potential indicator of no-reflow, representing the balance between systemic inflammation and endogenous vascular protection. 3. To examine the prognostic value of the albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score in identifying patients at higher risk for no-reflow, considering the systemic influence of hepatic function and inflammation.
Eligibility Criteria
The study will include patients presenting with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who are admitted to the \[specify hospital/center\] and undergo primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
You may qualify if:
- Age ≥ 18 years
- Suitable for and undergoing timely primary PCI based on symptoms and clinical judgment
- Provision of informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- History of previous MI, PCI, or CABG
- Known chronic inflammatory or autoimmune diseases
- Advanced renal or hepatic failure
- Active infection or malignancy at presentation
- Incomplete data or refusal to consent
