We determined plasma HE4 levels at baseline. The patients were followed up regularly and the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was recorded after discharge.Results: After a mean follow-up period of 242 (159– 427) days, 67 patients had MACE. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that HE4 was an independent predictor of MACE in patients with AMI [HR = 1.004 (1.002– 1.007), P = 0.002]. Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that patients with HE4 levels > 532.9 pmol/L had higher MACE compared with patients with ≤ 532.9 pmol/L HE4 levels (HR=4.044, 95% CI 2.373– 6.890, P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of HE4 for predicting MACE was 0.734 (95% CI: 0.669– 0.792, P < 0.001).Conclusion: Human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) might be a novel biomarker for predicting the prognosis of patients with AMI.Keywords: acute myocardial infarction, biomarkers, human epididymis protein |
