Insights
This study developed a nomogram to predict acute coronary syndrome (ACS) risk in hypertensive patients. The model aids clinicians in early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and prognosis for cardiovascular disease management.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Informatics
- Public Health
Background:
- Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading global cause of death.
- Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) incidence is rising worldwide.
- Hypertension is a significant risk factor for ACS.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a predictive nomogram model for ACS risk in hypertensive patients.
- To provide a tool for early diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies.
- To enhance prognostic evaluation for ACS patients with hypertension.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective data collection from 980 ACS patients (2018-2023).
- Inclusion of patient demographics, medical history, and clinical data.
- Development of a nomogram using LASSO and logistic regression analysis.
Main Results:
- The study included 682 hypertensive ACS patients (69.59%).
- Significant differences observed between hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups in various clinical and laboratory parameters.
- A high-quality nomogram model was constructed and validated.
Conclusions:
- A validated nomogram model for predicting ACS risk in hypertensive patients was developed.
- The model demonstrates high predictive accuracy and clinical utility.
- This tool supports improved clinical decision-making for ACS management in hypertensive individuals.
Background:
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, according to global statistics from the WHO and GBD, with the incidence of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) continuing to rise annually. This study aims to develop a nomogram model to predict the risk in ACS patients with hypertension, providing clinicians with a tool for early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and prognostic evaluation.
Methods:
Data were collected from ACS patients at Huangshi Aikang Hospital between 2018 and 2023. Patient characteristics, including age, sex, hypertension history, initial blood test results, and cardiac doppler ultrasonography findings, were recorded. ACS diagnosis followed the 2019 revised Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Acute ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) by the Chinese Society of Cardiology. The 2024 Revised Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes from the Chinese Journal of Cardiovascular Diseases were used for NSTEMI and unstable angina (UA) diagnoses. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS (version 27.0.1) and R software (version 4.3.2), with statistical significance at P < 0.05.
Results:
A total of 980 ACS patients were included in the study. Among the three clinical subtypes, 592 patients (60.4%) had UA, which was the most prevalent. The hypertensive group comprised 682 ACS patients (69.59%), with a mean age of 64.93 ± 9.51 years. Significant differences between hypertensive and non-hypertensive groups were found in sex (P = 0.001), age (P < 0.001), clinical subtype (P < 0.001), and several clinical and laboratory parameters, including creatinine (Cr) (P < 0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (P = 0.049), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPW) (P = 0.003), CK-MB (P = 0.019), AST (P = 0.028), total cholesterol (TC) (P = 0.035), LDL-C (P = 0.007), and APOB (P = 0.005). Using LASSO regression, nine variables were selected for multivariate logistic regression analysis, leading to the construction of the nomogram model. The calibration curve, Hosmer-Lemeshow test, ROC curve, decision curve, and clinical impact curve all demonstrated the model's high quality.
Conclusion:
A high-quality predictive nomogram model for assessing the risk of ACS in patients with hypertension has been developed. This model can assist clinicians in early diagnosis, personalized treatment, and prognostic evaluation.
