Abstract:AimsLeft ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is an important complication of acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to investigate the possible predictive value of blood urea nitrogen‐to‐albumin ratio (BAR) for the LVA formation in acute ST‐segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods and resultsA total of 1123 consecutive patients with STEMI were prospectively enrolled. The clinical and laboratory data were compared betw… Show more
