  Background: Silent cerebral infarction (SCI) is a neuronal injury without a clinically apparent stroke or transient ischaemic attack. Left atrial cardiomyopathy is closely associated with SCI. P wave changes in the electrocardiogram (ECG) provide significant information about the development of atrial cardiomyopathy. This study evaluated the role of P wave parameters and indices and a novel ECG parameter in predicting SCI, future cerebrovascular events, and atrial fibrillation/flutter. Materials and methods: A total of 272 patients were retrospectively screened and divided into two groups according to SCI. Cerebrovascular events and atrial fibrillation/flutter were defined as the study's outcomes. P wave parameters, indices, and a novel ECG parameter called the P wave ratio (PWR) were calculated from ECGs, and the relationship between SCI and outcomes was investigated. Results: The maximum P wave duration (PWD), P wave dispersion (PWdisp), PWD measured from the D2 lead (PWDD2), P wave peak time measured from the D2 lead (PWPTD2), PWPT measured from the V1 lead (PWPTV1), and P wave terminal force (PWTFV1) were significantly longer in the SCI group. Both partial and advanced inter atrial block (IAB) were significantly high in the SCI group. The novel parameter P wave ratio (PWR) was significantly longer in the SCI group (0.55 ± 0.08 vs. 0.46 ± 0.09; p < 0.001). In multivariate regression analysis, PWdisp (OR: 1.101, p < 0.001), PWPTD2 (OR: 1.095, p = 0.017), and PWR (OR: 1.231, p < 0.001) were found to be independent predictors of SCI. Cox regression analysis revealed that the PWR (HR 1.077; 95% CI 1.029–1.128; p = 0.001) was associated with cerebrovascular events and atrial fibrillation/flutter. Conclusion: In our study, we observed that PWR could be a valuable parameter for predicting SCI and future cerebrovascular events.

  Introduction and objective Despite major advances in reperfusion therapies, morbidity and mortality rates associated with cardiovascular disorders remain high, particularly in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Therefore, identifying prognostic variables that can be used to predict morbidity and mortality in STEMI patients is critical for better disease management. The HALP (hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet) score, a novel index indicating nutritional status and systemic inflammation, provides information about prognosis. In this context, this study was carried out to investigate the relationship between HALP score assessed at admission and in-hospital mortality in STEMI patients. Material and methods The population of this retrospective study consisted of 1307 consecutive patients diagnosed with STEMI and who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The 1090 patients included in the study sample were divided into two groups based on the median HALP score value of 3.59. In-hospital and all-cause mortality rates during the follow-up were obtained from the registry. Results In-hospital mortality rate was significantly higher in patients with a HALP score of less than 3.59 compared to those with a HALP score of more than 3.59 (7.5% and 0.7%, respectively; P < 0.001). Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard analyses revealed that the HALP score is independently associated with in-hospital mortality. The optimal HALP score cutoff value of <3.72 predicted in-hospital mortality with 95.56% sensitivity and 49.19% specificity. Conclusion This study's findings indicate that HALP score may be a significant independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in patients with STEMI treated with pPCI.
