Association between Cystatin C and Cardiac Function in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients: A Real-World Analysis

Figure 2

Admission CysC level was found to be significantly negatively correlated to the cardiac function in AMI patients. (a) Simple linear regression displayed a significantly positive correlation between admission CysC pro-BNP levels. (b, c) Echocardiography analysis showed a negative correlation between CysC and left ventricular EF value (b) and a positive correlation between CysC and left ventricular size, with both increased LVESD and LVEDD (c). (d–g) Subgroup analysis showed significant elevated pro-BNP value (d), elevated cTnT value (e), decreased EF value (f), and increased left ventricular size (g) in high-admission CysC cohort ( mg/L) than controls ( mg/L). Data were shown in . For statistical analysis, Student’s -test was applied, . EF: ejection fraction; LVESD: left ventricular end-systolic dimension; LVEDD: left ventricular end-diastolic dimension.
