- Abstract: Objective To evaluate the relationship between the QRS duration(QRSd)of the first medical contact(FMC)and the 30-day clinical endpoint of acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Methods A total of 547 STEMI patients were selected and divided into the QRSd＜100 ms group(306 cases)and the QRSd≥100 ms group(241 cases).Clinical data of the patients were collected,and electrocardiography(ECG)and cardiac ultrasound were evaluated according to the FMC examination results of patients.The starting point of the study was the postoperative day.Outpatient or telephone follow-up was performed after discharge until 30 days or death,the primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE),which was defined as the composite endpoint of all-cause mortality,acute heart failure(AHF)and revascularization again,and the secondary endpoint was AHF.Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to evaluate the incidence rates of MACE and AHF.QRSd was included in Cox regression with continuous variables and categorical variables to analyze influence factors of 30-day MACE and AHF in STEMI patients.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to evaluate the efficacy of QRSd in predicting 30 d MACE occurrence in STEMI patients.Results Compared with the QRSd＜100 ms group,HR was faster and the proportion of smoking history was lower in the QRSd≥100 ms group(P＜0.05).MACE occurred in 44 patients,including 11 in the QRSd＜100 ms group and 33 in the QRSd≥100 ms group.AHF occurred in 17 patients,including 2 patients in the QRSd＜100 ms group and 15 patients in the QRSd≥100 ms group.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the incidence of MACE and AHF were higher in the QRSd≥100 ms group than those in the QRSd＜100 ms group(P＜0.01).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prolonged QRSd and QRSd≥100 ms were risk factors for MACE and AHF(P＜0.05).ROC curve results showed that the best cutoff value of QRSd for predicting MACE was 111 ms,the area under the curve(AUC)was 0.796(95%CI:0.710-0.881),the sensitivity was 0.75,and the specificity was 0.84.Conclusion Compared with QRSd＜100 ms,QRSd≥100 ms of the FMC can increase the risk of 30-day MACE and heart failure in patients with STEMI,and this risk increases with prolonged QRSd.
