    The study included 1,245 STEMI patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention from January 2020 to December 2025.

    High fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio (FAR) was independently associated with left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) in the development cohort.

  • 3

    The combined prediction model incorporating FAR, left ventricular ejection fraction, and NT-proBNP showed high discrimination with an AUC of 0.933.

  • 4

    Temporal validation with an independent cohort confirmed the model's performance, achieving an AUC of 0.934 and acceptable calibration.

  • 5

    Elevated FAR is linked to increased LVA risk in STEMI patients, highlighting its potential as a predictive biomarker.
