Abstract:
:BACKGROUND The present research aimed to explore the risk factors for adverse cardiovascular events in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) combined with NAFLD. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 325 AMI patients hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology. AMI patients underwent emergency thrombolysis or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). AMI patients were classified into NAFLD group and non-NAFLD group. General clinical data, creatinine and myocardial enzyme, GRACE scores of AMI patients were evaluated and compared between two groups. Incidence of adverse cardiovascular events, including ECG instability, hemodynamic instability and death were evaluated. RESULTS Compared to patients in the non-NAFLD group, patients in the NAFLD group had remarkably lower proportions of diabetic patients (p=0.001), coronary heart disease (CHD) patients (p=0.027), and CABG/PCI patients (p<0.001), and had significantly higher EF values (p=0.042). Meanwhile, the proportion of adverse cardiovascular events (ECG instability (p<0.001), hemodynamic instability (p=0.033), and deaths (p=0.016)) in patients in the NAFLD group was significantly higher compared to patients in the non-NAFLD group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that GRACE score >140 (OR: 3.005, 95% CI: 1.504-6.032), EF <35% (OR: 2.649, 95% CI: 1.364-4.346), diabetes (OR: 1.308, 95% CI: 1.072-1.589), and NAFLD (OR: 1.112, 95% CI: 1.043-1.324) were independent predictors for elderly AMI patients' adverse cardiovascular events. CONCLUSIONS The risk for adverse cardiovascular events in elderly acute myocardial infarction patients who also had NAFLD was significantly higher. Therefore, strengthening monitoring and active treatment for elderly AMI patients who also have NAFLD could reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events and improve survival rate prognosis.
