Insights

Higher pan-immune-inflammation values (PIV), PIV/HDL-C, and PIV*LDL-C predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). These markers may serve as novel biomarkers for predicting MACEs in this population.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Biomarkers
  • Inflammation

Background:

  • Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) poses significant cardiovascular risk.
  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a common treatment for ACS.
  • Prognostic markers are crucial for managing ACS patients undergoing PCI.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association of pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) and its ratios (PIV/HDL-C, PIV*LDL-C) with prognosis in ACS patients undergoing PCI.
  • To identify novel biomarkers for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) in this patient group.

Main Methods:

  • A cohort of 1360 ACS patients undergoing PCI was analyzed.
  • Patients were categorized into MACEs and non-MACEs groups.
  • PIV, PIV/HDL-C, and PIV*LDL-C values were measured and correlated with MACEs outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Elevated PIV (≥355.79), PIV/HDL-C (≥282.86), and PIV*LDL-C (≥1431.58) were identified as independent predictors of MACEs.
  • Multivariable Cox regression analysis confirmed these associations (all P < .05).
  • Patients with higher index values exhibited significantly lower cumulative survival rates (log-rank tests, P < .05).

Conclusions:

  • Higher PIV, PIV/HDL-C, and PIV*LDL-C are independent prognostic factors for ACS patients undergoing PCI.
  • These inflammatory indices may serve as novel biomarkers for predicting MACEs.
  • The findings highlight the role of systemic inflammation in ACS prognosis post-PCI.

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers

Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System I: Cardiac Biomarkers

Cardiac biomarkers are enzymes, proteins, and hormones released into the blood when cardiac cells are injured. They are powerful tools for triaging.
The essential diagnostic tools for detecting myocardial necrosis and monitoring individuals suspected of having acute coronary syndrome (ACS) include:
Troponins
Troponins, particularly cardiac troponins I and T, are the most precise and sensitive markers of myocardial injury. They are detectable within 4-6 hours of myocardial injury and remain...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...
