Abstract:Aim To investigate the prognostic value of dynamic monitoring of inflammatory-coagulation biomarker profiles in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) complicated with coronary heart disease (CHD), and to establish a multi-biomarker risk predictive model and develop an optimized risk stratification system. Methods A total of 130 patients with AF and CHD admitted from June 2021 to June 2024 were prospectively enrolled. Multiple inflammatory and coagulation biomarkers were measured at baseline, 1,3, 6, and 12 months, and dynamic follow-up was performed. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during the 12-month follow-up period. LASSO regression was used to select predictive variables and construct an inflammation-coagulation score index (ICSI). Cox regression analysis was used to evaluate its prognostic value. Results During 12-month follow-up, 38 patients (29.2%) experienced MACE. The baseline levels of inflammatory-coagulation biomarkers were positively correlated with the SYNTAX score, and the levels of hs-CRP and D-dimer in the high-risk group were significantly 3.2-fold and 2.8-fold those in the low-risk group, respectively (P<0.001). The biomarkers in the event group persistently remained at high levels during the follow-up period, while those in the non-event group showed a downward trend. Patients with <30% hs-CRP reduction or <25% D-dimer reduction at 3 months had 3.23-fold and 3.67-fold increased risk of MACE, respectively. The multi-biomarker model (incorporating,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), D-dimer, fibrinogen, N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) achieved an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.802, superior to CHA2DS2-VASc score (AUC=0.658) and HAS-BLED score (AUC=0.612). The risk stratification system based on ICSI identified 23 intermediate-to-high-risk patients among those with CHA2DS2-VASc<4, with a MACE incidence rate of 39.1%. Conclusion Dynamic monitoring of inflammatory-coagulation biomarker profiles accurately predicts prognosis of AF patients complicated with CHD.
