Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of the echocardiography-derived Tei index for the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) within 1 year post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods: A total of 98 patients diagnosed with CHD and admitted to our hospital between January 2021 and May 2023 were retrospectively selected for this study, and the two groups were divided into good prognosis group (n = 67) and poor prognosis group (n = 31) according to whether cardiovascular adverse events occurred within 1 year after PCI. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the influencing factors of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with CHD following PCI, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was employed to evaluate the efficacy of myocardial performance index measured by echocardiography in predicting adverse cardiovascular events within 1 year post-PCI in patients with CHD. The inflammatory factors of patients with different Tei indices were compared before and 24 h after PCI. Results: The differences in general data, including preoperative Tei index, left anterior descending (LAD) level, left ventricular diameter in diastole (LVDd) level, and the number of cases with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, were not statistically significant between two groups (p > 0.05). Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), maximum left ventricular thickness, postoperative Tei index, plaque score, and carotid intima–media thickness (IMT) showed statistically significant differences (p < 0.05). The findings from logistic regression analysis, considering multiple factors, indicated that Tei index, plaque score, and carotid IMT were independent predictors for adverse cardiovascular events following PCI in patients with CHD (p < 0.05). ROC analysis demonstrated an impressive area under the curve of 0.967 for echocardiographic assessment of myocardial performance index as a predictor for adverse cardiovascular events within 1 year after PCI in patients with CHD. The standard error was 0.017, 95% confidence interval was 0.935–0.999, optimal cut-off value was 0.88, sensitivity was 95.0%, and specificity was 93.3%. The comparison of inflammatory factors among patients with different Tei index values before PCI did not yield any statistically significant differences (p > 0.05), and the comparison of inflammatory factors in patients with different Tei index 24 h after PCI. The levels of inflammatory cytokines in patients with Tei ≤0.5 were lower than those in patients with Tei >0.5 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Evaluating the myocardial performance index through echocardiography holds considerable value in predicting MACE within one year following PCI in patients diagnosed with CHD.
