    The study identifies the lactate dehydrogenase-to-albumin ratio (LAR) as a novel independent predictor of left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) risk in STEMI patients.

  • 2

    Participants in the highest quartile of LAR showed a significantly increased likelihood of developing LVA compared to those in the lowest quartile across all cohorts.

  • 3

    Multivariate logistic regression revealed that LAR's predictive ability for LVA risk surpassed that of lactate dehydrogenase and albumin.

  • 4

    The study included 551, 471, and 1384 eligible subjects from three cohorts, ensuring robust and consistent findings across diverse populations.

  • 5

    A heightened LAR is independently linked to a greater likelihood of LVA occurrence in individuals with STEMI who received primary percutaneous coronary intervention.
